hi there thought i start something up just for the bristlenose ones plecs

lol, considering 80% of the threads in the forum are about bn's the last thing we need is another one...what would be good is people looking at previous threads instead of asking the same damn boring questions once again about the same fish....then perhaps we could have threads some other interesting plecs...woudn't that be nice!

 

[xingumike]

they are doing longfin L144 now?

I wouldn't pay over the odds for LDA16 longfins, they will just be calico/piebald domestic ancistrus

One female Bristlenose - cant believe how much shes grown - she was about 2cm big when I first got her!!

 

[matchstickman47]

I have 3 Bristlnoses, 2 males and one female although the smaller male is now in a seperate tank to the other two

i'VE HAD THEM ALMOST 2 YRS and the male is large especially about5 inches yet never bred!!! nightmare infact they never seem to be near each other

 

[Ash18]

hello
Would a 54 litre tank be big enough for a bristle nose?

 

[dave_oddballs]
