Bristlenoses and Friends

[Arashi]

I'm a bit camera happy tonight, teehee! Just please excuse the dirtyness of my tanks, especially the water spots...tank cleaning day is tomorrow, and I'm too lazy to do it now. )

Enjoy the piccys.

To start off, we have my big and little C. leucomelas Corys. They are so cute.

What happens when a Platy eats bloodworms...they look like they are about to explode.

My beautiful female Bristlenose.

And lastly, one of my male Bristlenoses (the other more impressive male didn't want his picture taken ). This one I actually thought was a female for a very long time...then the bristles started growing and I knew there was no way this was a female.

I have two of those cories (C. leucomelas), they were sold to me as C. Julii, when I got them home though I notice those two were different from the other one (no black band on eyes, same black spots though) and I believe now the one is still a C. Julii but I have been wondering what the other two were, now I know, thank you very much.

PS- your bristlenoses look nice too (though I'm not a big pleco fan (well besides the expensive ones like zebras))

Nice pics Arashi!
Your plecs are beautiful!
I especially love your male, he is impressive!
Makes me want to go and steal back my male (that is in my mother in law tank) and replace it with the female that I have in my tank...
She seriously would never know the diff

MXPX4318 - You are very welcome!

earthgirl - Thanks very much! I just love my Bristlenoses. I wish I could get a pic of my other male...he's incredible. His bristles are all branched and gnarled, like a deer's antlers...very cool looking. And yeah, I suggest stealing back your male too...the males are so cool looking.

Sasha - Thanks!
