Future Pair, your choice of males

I put 3 little plecos in a tank full of Subwassertang in the spring and now they are all grown up. All three fish are about 2.8" now, you get to pick which male you want.

Look at this guy, he's awesome! Not much in the way of bristles yet but who would care with those spots? He is the result of breeding strongly patterned brown fish to albinos.

This is the male the female hangs around with. He is a dark fish that rarely shows much pattern but has nice bristles for a young fish. He may breed with the female sooner since they seem to like each other.

Do you have any idea how hard it is to get the fish to line up perpendicular to the lines?

This is the female today and the 2nd was taken at the end of the summer when I noticed she was getting a fat tummy.

These fish are mature enough to breed and if you gave them an appropriate setup with a couple of really good caves I'd expect them to spawn in under a month.

Bristlenose really appreciate a choice of several caves and especially males will establish territories. �A diet rich in fiber including fresh veggies, such as collard greens, green beans, peas and zucchini is required. Driftwood for them to rasp on is advised and will provide additional fiber and aid digestion. �A high protein diet without enough fiber can cause serious problems. �Average size for mature adults is roughly 4" with females usually smaller than males but the fish may range from 3" up to 5". �Plan on a minimum of 10 gallons per fish at adult size.

Ideal temps are mid 70s, do not keep these fish over 80F. �Seriously, these fish are fine at 65F but struggle with temps in the 80s. �I don't care what you have read saying otherwise.

If you don't see what you are looking for in my auctions, you can also buy bristlenose a la carte. Mix and match from this stocklist to get exactly what you want. I try to keep the list current but some quantities are limited. The only thing I ask is that you make a minimum purchase of $20 to avoid a handling charge.

Comprehensive care information will be provided to all buyers prior to shipment.
