I just found some eggs yesterday, so part two is in the works! If this is a success, I'll be setting up separate breeding tanks for long fin, blue eye, super red, green dragon, etc. You'll have to keep my updated on how your breeding goes!
"Plecos can be and are very territorial creatures and it is very common that after introducing one to another for a while, that they fight for dominance and to go with it, territory." Also, it's better to have different sex ratio than yours, you should have more females to male. It produces more offspring, and also females are not being harassed. Other than that, really beautiful setup for them to live in. Good job.
I've had one female albino bristlenose in my planted 30 gallon for almost 2 years now. I've had her since she was barely longer than my thumb nail and she's now I'd say just under 4 inches. Does a great job cleaning up algae but she's a poop machine and nipples on my plants from time to time.lots of character and actually sleeps on her back LOL.
Pretty decor.i have,the black pleco u have in your tank. I too bought a PVC pipe.I need to buy plants. My pleco loves the Indian almond leaves I buy at Amazon. The nice big leaves. Get some for yours too! Keep us posted great video.
Some lessons learned: Only keep one male and 2 or 3 females in each tank or divided section. Otherwise the males fight nonstop! If you remove the eggs from the cave, use an egg tumbler to help prevent fungus. The Java Ferns were the only plants that my larger plecos didn't tear up. And try to only breed Bristlenose of the same variety / color, to get offspring that are worth more
Sorry, but that is not true.. keep more males than females... the male keeps the frie and not the female. but you have to get at least one hidding spot for each male..
Leave 1 male with the fry at least for a month. Transfer the female between males but keep the males seperate. Males are very maternal with plecos so they protect the fry.
Loved watching all parts...I just find Plecos so interesting...i have an albino...a long fin and normal BN....they look like all females..my long fin..is a female as she dpesnt have the bristles on the nose..but still likes to live in her cave.
Hello Foisy, Thank you for the video! I have a 37 gallon with mollies, Pecos, and neon & black skirt tetras. The mollies have been breeding like crazy, but this week we found a baby Pleco. Now we found a clutch of eggs being protected by a male albino bristlenose. Can you share the link for the Terra Cotta caves?
I made a tank measuring 45x45x45 cm and I am thinking of putting the two big males in this tank with I believe the two females along with four young fish that I bought in April when they were four centimeters is this suitable?
Foisy Thank you for reply very kind...I left cave with male in separate aquarium with pump and heater and now as I see there are fry here and there with little yellow yolks swimming around... Now when do I give em food?? When yolk is gone completely?? I’m planning giving some zucchini and mini worms hope they will like it? Also when do I put father back in his aquarium?? Thanks very much for Help 🙏🏻it’s my first time and doing it for fun and kids not profit at all...as I’ll bring em ti local fish store to get credit..
Okay so now I have a question for you fish breeders. The parents spawn, have babies, what do you do you do with the parents. Leave em with the fry? Or remove them? I've removed them but they cause problems In my display tank each time they spawn.. these r convict cichlids I'm breeding
Thanks I’ve got a female albino and hoping to breed her soon I bought her a few weeks ago so she is just settling in my 100 litre tank that has got a lot of plants and bog wood I named her Lola she is a beut
Ull want to separate the males during breeding cuz the rival male will try to kill the eggs and injure or kill ur chosen male for breeding rights also u need 2 females for 1 male that way he can choose who to breed with and so ur female doesnt get worn out.
I’ll be breeding my two longfinned bristlenoses soon and this was a great help!

Foisy thanks so much for replying , I will do . Looking forward to the next vid!
Foisy do you have a social media I’d love to send you photos of my tank
Email is what I use most! Send them to FoisyYT@gmail.com
I love these videos tbh, I'm gonna rewatch them everyday lol
That big male looks amazing 😻
There's some plecos just browsing the internet and finding this
Bristlenose plecos are one of my favorite fish in the hobby ;)
Mine too

Those caves are awesome just picked some up. Never saw them before!
Definitely great for my really big plecos!

I think your two "P's" are maybe sleeping on their back as well? "Nipples"...? 😂
is she still alive?
Hi cool video really helps., I have a question about the tunnels of multiplication ......

I use Indian almond leaves too!
Very Nice! I like the look of Terracotta pots. I have been wanting to put a pot of mine in if it broke in half. Nice Colony my friend!

my 2 male brislenoses get along
I have never realized that the Bristlenoses could get so voluminous in the bristle area!
It happens when they been kept in small enclosures to long.
Do you think that this is really 8inch long?
I have plecos! This is very interesting. Mine are too young to breed.

He sad that he would link them in the discription...
Nice content. New sub
Appreciate it!

Do the albino plecos go golden?
I have 2 albino and 1 brown longfin males and 1 albino longfin female and 1 albino blue eye and brown normal female.
So how do you do water changes in a tank that is big?
Should I use a tube??
i got 5 breeding size (males with bristles and all) for a dollar each!!! granted they are the common chocolate plecos...
I’ve just noticed my Bristlenose has eggs and they are in with other fish what should I do?
I gotta ask what is up with the water bottle on the filter?
It was a homemade internal moving bed filter I was trying out!
I recommend dimming your lights
Can you breed bristle nose pleco with different colors?
Bossman Mike yes, the fry might differ in color due to DNA
So could the colors from the dad and mom mix?
Do u have more for sale breeding pairs only
How do u prepare cucumber.? Do I blanch?. What's holding cucumbers? Ty
I just cut a raw green squash and weigh it down so it sinks
Bristlenose 💪👍🐠
Did the sponge air stone work with the water bottle, an will air reaction stones work inside the water bottle
Munni ka intezar karr rahe the bhaiya ki kab kothe mein aaye aur kab pele munni ko 😂😂😂
Did ancistrus need a air pump?
Very easy to breed. They say breeding set because pretty much you put a sexual mature pair together and bam you hit eggs. New sub!
Still working out the kinks with this group, think I have too many males and not enough sexually mature females. Part 2 coming soon!
@@FoisyAquatics yea I find that the man problem people have the females just are not old enough. I just did a video yesterday on bristlenose breeding

Thank you very much
The cave looks kinda small. Tight
Can i keep tree females in a 32 gallonn aquarium?

Where did you find these bristlenose online. Can you send me a link please?
Tell me about lifespan ?
Where are the breeding cave from please
Is it ok to leave eggs in cave and let male do it’s thing?? I don’t know what to do and there’s is a lot of eggs in cave??
Hope they will be ok
As long as your filter won't suck up the fry when they come out, then yes!
Foisy Thank you for reply very kind...I left cave with male in separate aquarium with pump and heater and now as I see there are fry here and there with little yellow yolks swimming around...

why do you need more males than females?
What’s the guy channel with the 150 gallon pleco setup😭😭
Don't think he has one
Who did you buy the huge bristlenose pleco from ?

Hi if I was to breed a female calico with a male super red what do you recon the outcome would be?
A fish
I bred my bristlenose albino plecos. They have had 3 spawns and every one of the babies has turned out brown. :(
WOW 🥰💕💞☯️💖🔮thanks

Mine started after a year or so
WOW! Can u link that person?

I throw green beans in my tank they do not seem to go for it. Do u cut them up?
Ya I used cut green beans
Okay so now I have a question for you fish breeders. The parents spawn, have babies, what do you do you do with the parents. Leave em with the fry? Or remove them? I've removed them but they cause problems In my display tank each time they spawn.. these r convict cichlids I'm breeding
I put my pleco fry in a separate tank
I’m getting a 115 l tank purely for breeding these. How many can I have?
To be honest I'm not entirely sure, I've only bred these in tanks smaller than 40 gallons and now only keep 1 male and 1-2 females per tank
