bristlenose spawn size

[Luke39]

ive just got a trio of bristlenose about 10-12cm, wondering what is an average spawn size for them?

[wrk21]

im thinkin at least 20/30.

Im thinkin 80+ they are a good size...

[wrk21]

well yes, both my lots(1m 2f) were a bit smaller than 12cm and they both had around the 30 mark.
luke if/when they do breed it would be good to know how many fry you do get.....

My best ever single spawn from a large trio was 253 a couple of years ago. When you keep a male with more than one female they will sometimes spawn with both females at once.

Cheers, Doug

my bn are average of 10cm, and avg spawn lately has been 30-40.
Most likely to be 30 not often there is more.

[trofius]

40-100 for each female

[Luke39]

I agree mine spawn every 3-4 weeks but lately I have been getting up to 150-200 in a batch. Just feed them a good mixture of the algae pellet/wafer and also fresh vegetables like zucchini, cucumber or lettuce.
