Had A Surprise Find Tonight

[kevinjames]

after setting up my new 500litre ive started a thread about in the new tank forum. i added the fish on sunday and today i noticed my male bn plec hasnt moved all day. so i checked he was still alive and was shocked to see a large cluster of orange eggs. i had the pair in two seperate tanks and put them together wondering if they would pair but hadnt expected it to happen so soon. im a bit weary now because they are some biggish cichlids in there and i dont think the fry will have much hope. can anyone with any experience with bristlenoses give me any advice

Congatulations, the male will care 100% for them until there big enough in his mind to flea the nest, they are quick little blighters, its up to you, leave them and hope for best, or what i would do is obtain another tank, set it up, leave them there until they've hatched and started venturing, then move them into another tank.

Think I'm just gonna let nature take its course with these. My time is full with setting up the tank they are in and my other tank without looking after fry.

i used to put beds of java moss
on the bottom of the tank to give
them a sporting chance anything
with low foliage anything with loads
of hide holes good luck
