New Baby bristlenose

[mitch1313]

Just picked up some Albino bristlenoses about 1 1/2 inches, from my lfs. My qwes is, while i am quarantining, what should i do to take care of them, and what do i feed them, and also how big should i let them get before i throw them in with my discus? I know most of you have had experience with these, so let me know what you think.

I just got some wild caught adults...I've got driftwood in the tank(apparently this is fairly important) and I feed them microwaved zuchini, peas with the outer skin taken off, and spirulina disks...I would quarantine them for 6 weeks minimum...

Dave mentioned it. I think one of the big keys is to have some driftwood in the tank. Nothing big, even a small 3" piece will do.
