My bristle nose plecs breed and I have about 6 baby's about an inch long. Then they breed again ,so I also have about 20 baby's about 3weeks old and now the male is in his cave guarding more eggs.
What will I do with all these bristle noses ?
Any suggestions please .
 
If I lived anywhere near you, I'd probably take one off your hands, but, as it happens, there's a bit of an ocean between us. Perhaps, if you have facebook, you can make a post on the various fish groups there. I'm sure someone local would help you.
 
Thanks for the advice, I will ask at my local fish shop if they will trade for a German blue ram or two :)
 
If craigslist is busy in your area, you could sell some on there, as well.
 
You need to grow them out before you can sell them. Think about 1.5 inches (almost 4 cm). Figure about 3 months or so. Oh yes, they should spawn monthly or so with the spawns getting larger. When I got my final spawn from my first pair before losing her (after close to 8 years) the spawn was over 100 fry.
