Bristlenose
A rare appearance by my long fins! I like them but they hide too much...

Cool Brian, maybe you need more of them

Your discus are talking to you....are you listening
Re: Bristlenose
There are 4 of them and they love hiding in their driftwood. At this time, it's a catfish only tank. with the Bristlenose, 3 Corys. An 8" Featherfin Squeaker and some other kind of pleco that I've only seen maybe three times this year, lol... I got the Featherfin when it was only about 1" long and has far outgrown this tank... All the more reason to upgrade to a larger tank for Christmas

Re: Bristlenose
Once I get some of my remodeling projects completed and open up some more space, I'd like to give that a try. I've never tried breeding Bristlenose so I should read up...Originally Posted by brewmaster15
Re: Bristlenose
No promises, but I bet they'd be more outgoing if you moved the featherfin. Plecs don't like bottom-dwellers bigger than themselves. Also, adults are also much more secretive than youngsters (still talking about fish).
Any pics of the other plec?
Re: Bristlenose
That's nice to know! They actually grew up in their own tank until about 2 months ago when I had to consolidate tanks. I never really saw them then either, although I did see them through the holes in the driftwood.No promises, but I bet they'd be more outgoing if you moved the featherfin.

I will take a pic of the other pleco the next time I see it. It's even more secretive than the long fins. I got it at the same time I got the squeaker and they were the same size at 1". I don't think I saw it for about 2 years and thought it had died. It blends in with the driftwood and is a small one at about 2.5" now.
Re: Bristlenose
This is about as much as I've seen of him at any time...
I got this one and the feather fin on a Black Friday special at Petsmart a few years ago. They were very small...
