Bristlenose #1

Hi all,

My male bristlenose will not move from in and around a rock. IT trapped the female in the rock earlier. Is there a chance that there are eggs?

Also, it seems to be fanning something.

Re: Bristlenose #2

Very probably yes. That sounds like classic breeding behaviour - congratulations

Hi,

I am pleased to report that there are some eggs in the rock and the bristlenose is guarding them.

Re: Bristlenose #4

You'll probably have wrigglers by the weekend

Pleased to report that there are some wrigglers today. It looks like I am going to have 25-30.
