    I have two chocolate bristlenose and have been struggling with breeding. One day I noticed nearly 30 babies all over the wall of my 20 gallon. Within 2 weeks, the babies dwindled one by one, til I was left with a single baby. It has continued to grow out in the same tank for the past 6 months. Since then, I've seen my male eject hatched eggs from the cave, but no babies.
    I have cherry shrimp and endlers in there. Possible they are interfering with hatching? Could they have killed the babies?

    The thing is everyone needs essentials,
    When a sick person goes and buys essentials from the same place as healthy person is where problems occur.
    *If your sick stay home.*
    *If your showing flu like symptoms, stay home.*
    If you need essentials and your sick ask someone close to you who is wearing a mask and gloves so they don't spread your germs to go and get these essentials.
    It is advised you shop online. If Amazon doesn't have "it" doesn't mean you local big name distribution center (Walmart, Canadian Tire, etc.) doesn't.

      That's the issue. The LFS know's you have no other place to sell them. You have to figure he is buying pairs at about $1 a piece or so. Make a counter offer, $1 per pair in store credit. Or bring him your absolute best pair and tell him he you can sell these at $3 a pair easy so you want $1.50, then see if he will haggle.
