i just recently had abatch of bristle nose for the fist time( suprised they werent eatin by my calvus) so ive put them and the male and there log in the breeder net in the same tank, how long will the male look after them for?? there about 1 week old. should i put a little bit of pleco food in for them too?? just wonderin if i should leave the male or take him out. cheers. any feed back would be muchly appreciated.
Hi mate con grats on the fry
I would thake the male out if the fry r free swimming
And a few algie disks would be ok and every few days put a small pice of zuchini in over night and replace it or it might set ya water off in the net
or even a few fish flacks
Good luck

hey, we had 2 breeding pairs of bristlenose and every month or two there was a new batch of tiny bn, males are actually the ones that look after the eggs and they young and will have no urge to eat the fry as long as you feed them the correct amount.....but just incase ide take the male out as soon as the fry are on thier own.
