My Bristlenose

[wendywc]

He's now about 2-and-a-quarter inches. Anyway, for those who haven't seen his earlier pic, here it is.

But earlier today, I got these belly shots. These two pics were taken with all lights on and flash.

Caught him stretching with his hooks out.

Finally, without flash showing his true colors.

UPDATE: Latest pictures.

How cute.

I like bristlenoses when they are small. The adult females are too fat and short. I like the males much better, with their bristles and stuff.

Nice

I lucked out in that this new, small LFS near me breeds them. I don't see any at Petsmart, Petco, or other, bigger LFSs. I'm thinking about getting a female for him; they said they would get in a new shipment of bristlenoses to refresh the bloodline. And Cl@ssy Burd, I was thinking about do a coconut shell cave for him too -- it would give him a place to protect his babies.

And thanks for the compliment, Jer-

EDIT: Trying to get a new headshot of him; this is the best so far.
