My BN pleco is turning 8 in June 😀💫
The water change tip to get them to breed works good. Doing it makes my piranhas breed like crazy.
One of my favourite fish ever! I love them so much
Heck yeah bristlenoses! My albino long fin BNs are reaching adulthood now and I picked up a green dragon and a super red this past week 😍 A long fin green dragon is one of my bucket list fish but they’re rare and a little pricey
The green dragons are awesome!!
Thanks for this awesome and informative video! 🤗
Great video. Thanks
Loved this video, learnt alot
Thanks this was extremely helpful for my bristle nose catfish :)
For mine too
Great tips
Thank you!
Lol, randomly found fry in my tank so I feel pretty ahead with all the breeding advice
You're a good lad thanks for the info.
Very informative. Thank you!! :)
Slice of zucchini, put a cake fork through the slice and drop in tank is an easy way to feed these guys. Small cake fork keeps it at the bottom and easy to retrieve / change later. They also are surprisingly protective and good parents even in a community tank. They are a boss when protecting their cave with babies
Great tips here thx. I'm still debating between these or a clown pleco for a 40 gallon breeder. With both types I've heard the the same thing you said and that's to get adults if you can. I have only one fish store in my town and Petco / Petsmart but I would only by bettas from one of those stores lol. Hopefully they will have some adults in stock. I currently have 5 Ottos and trumpet snails for algae control but I want something a little bigger with a longer lifespan. I only bought 5 Ottos which have lasted about 5 years and they bred randomly once :)
Some good useful pointers cheers
I have 4/5 mth old mix blend of bristle nose Plecos : orange, spotted and snow white
A few small & larger breeding caves
The Snow White has hung around the small caves but no other action. It’s getting cooler now summers over. I have sword tails in also
Both sets keep themselves on their own sections
Both love green wafers & zukini - gen add a half split in two ever few days.
They have grown to 3/4/4.5 “ so far. But no actual bristles as yet, so can’t sex them as yet
Suggestions?
Thank you.
Digging the stash
thanks greAT VIDEO
Just got a new 35 gallon tank set up last week. I'm going to add one of these guys for sure. I got plants and driftwood all ready
Literilyy same lol
Hi there, wondering if there is any particular type of (timber) driftwood that the bristlenose pleco's prefer, considering its a part of their habitat & diet?
Nice tips I just added 2 bristelnose about a week ago💋
great tips i have a gold nugget in 1 tank and a orange bristlenise n a common in the other. ive read i can dug earthworms from my garden fir them. is this true? thank you
Ammonia could be a key factor why they gulp air but it also could mean not enough water circulation bc I had this happened and my water didn’t have ammonia or nitrites and they still gulped air but now I use a two power heads and three air stones and now they stoped gulping for air
Great video. How old must plecos be to be able to breed?
Hi thanks for your videos your advice is really helpful and easy to understand as im a beginner. I recently bought a longfin brisslenose mal from the pet store he didnt know how old he was he said he is old enough to fertilise eggs he is roughly 16 cm long. We put him in with our albino brisslenose female and she usually lays eggs every month she is trying to get into the cave with him but he wont let her i do water change on saturday and she usally lays eggs that night its been 3 weeks over the month she spends all day laying at the entrance to his cave he swims past her when he leaves. Can a brisslenose female have eggs with a longfin male ? Should i put her in our other tank with male brisslenose not the longfin? Any advice appreciated sorry about long story of the situation.
Can you keep them in tanks with live plants
Can you feed them alfalfa pellets? I didn't last time I had them but that was 20years ago.😊
Plz guide me pH of water for pleco, tks and best regards
I have a 5 gallon (20L) tank. Will my bristlenose catfish be ok? Just for the winter because it lives in my outdoor pond otherwise.
I agree, it’s definitely difficult to acclimate young bristlenose
great advise apart from the last comments
Nice tash
Lol
Hi sir just ask your permission to share your blog to my pleco group . Thanks in advance.
i’m thinking about getting some, but i wonder if they create a lot of waste. Do they poop a lot?
Quezzzoo yes! tons!
I recently bought a bn pleco from a pet store. He’s VERY small. About the size of your guys at 3:59. I’m concerned because he’s only sucking on the glass, instead of going after the food. Any suggestions? Note: my water parameters are good.
When/what are you feeding him?
@@cactdie5949 Thanks for the response. Unfortunately, my little guy passed away later that day. I got another BN pleco shortly after from a different store, and he’s thriving. I feed him Rapashy Morning Wood and Omega One algae wafers.
@@emptyhanded79 I'm so sorry to hear that :( I hope your new pleco does well!
@@emptyhanded79 unfortunately mine is doin the same thing..
How many bristlenose in a 37 gallon bow front?
Awesome tips, thanks for this video !
I'm french and it's a bit hard for me to follow, you'r very speed O_o
Sorry! I am quick
@@KeepingFishSimple Don't change anything man, I love your energy !
What’s that yellow stuff you have in your tank that they’re feeding on ?
Drained green beans from a can
😍👍
Second!
How much temperature???😢
What pleco can I get for a 10 gallon tank
They need atleast 30 gallons
How many should i keep these in my 15 gallon tank? Currently i have 5neon, 5 hengeli, 4 shrimp
1 they can get up to 6 inches long but one will do well in a 15 gallon
I want one for my 20 gallon sooo bad, they are so cute
To my surprise my bristle nose plecos bred, had babies and are free swimming, but they are slowly dying, don’t know why? Water is clear and all levels are in range, I am stumped?
I hope you can help me. I have an albino bristlenose about 5 in alone in 10 gal tank. I just got an 8 in pleco that doesnt have the spiky nose. Are they compatible in a 30 gal tank?
@@rebeccafitzhugh5123 they need huge tank
There's a fish store near me and they only sell baby ones and I feel bad
Is 4cm for a cave entrance to big
I’m new to bristlenose only had mine a few months an he or she has grown heaps but i never actually see him or her eat the wafers or vegetables just eats off the Botton the glass an the décor
gréât vidéos. will plecos eat guppy fry?
Thérèse Gilbert depends if they are at the bottom of the tank
Fish are my Hobby thank you
Np
How long do you leave your green beans in for ???
I usually take them out the morning after
I ran out of algea of my tank and my pleco will not eat wafers
Has it started eating?
First
A larger bristlenose is $40.
My mans lives in the grinches cave
Well the last tip did help me though///
I had b.pleco and he started to go top to take air, didnt know what heppening... the next day i found him dead :(
Anyway i usually doing watter changes 50% every week got 40l tank
With
2 Guppy
2 Cardinal tetras
2 Corydoras
2 B.placos
1 betta
1 Molly
1. Platie
Lol wtf
40l?
Theat is not good!
Cardinal tetras and corydoras are schooling fish (a minimum of 6) If they don't school they feel scared!!!
Would have been ammonia poisoning. That tank is well over stocked
