    I personally would advise people to start with the commons/albino commons, just to get a feel for it. Commons sell faster than any others, because they're cheap and can go with basically anything. Once you're confident, sell the breeders and invest in something fancy. The last thing you wanna do is buy a couple hundred dollars worth of fancy bristlenose or L number plecos, and have them die.
    The pleco bio load is definitely a learning experience. lol

    2:35, one of them is a born gymnastic, doing what looks to be a 185 rotation flip. The judges in the background are in total awe as this little one is going for the Guinness world record of most consecutive front flips made in one leap. This ladies and gents is astounding!

    I really loved watching the series from start to end. Its good hearing the mistakes you made. Im interested to see how those flies that created so much anquish turned out at the end of the day.
    Thanks again. Have subscribed. Look forward to going through your old videos and new ones.

    Thank you for that series. While I have kept fish for many years, I had never tried breeding plecos. I am starting out slowly with some of the more common bristle nose species until I have more experience. Your series, including the mistakes, was just what I needed to get started.

    Congrats mate! I got an aquarium I guess more than 5 years ago, I have a pair of plecos since the beginning and they still rock. They have laid eggs at least 10 times so far, but all the fry died out after a while. It was only since last year that I managed to keep some of them alive, and now currently I have at least 30 small plecos, ranging from a couple months old to half year olds, or maybe even 1 year olds.

    Brilliant advice. I’ve only just found you on here, as my Super Red Bristlenose have just bred for the first time and I have no idea what I’m doing. They’re not very old and this is a total surprise for me as I don’t have a cave or anything, just a big open fake log for decoration as well as plants (and snails 🐌 😠) It’s been nice to follow your journey, and know that not everything goes to plan. I only saw my baby plecos once they swam out of the log, so thank you for such a fabulously filmed and informative video! 😊

    Hay, Thanks for putting together a great 3 part series of your Bristlenose breeding project, and no dobt, you would have a lot more experience breeding them by now.
    I'm just begining to breed Albino short and long fin, and Peppermint Bristlenose plecos.
    Fortunately we have some storms coming through so ive done a 40"/. water change on both tanks which are both at a PH of 7.2 , and they are aeating Hikari mini wafers, zucchini, and theres black worms hiding anongst the mopani and rocks for them to pick off as they please. I have a Peppermint male in a cave and my big Albino male is activly displaying his fins with both a long fin female, and a short fin female checking him and his cave out. Ive noticed my big Albino male is also quite reddish tonight , and so are the belly's of both females perusing his cave, wheras the rest of the Albinos are still uniform white and not really big enough to breed anyway.
    Have you seen these colour changes prior to breeding?
    Im hoping because my water is good, that its a sign some breeding will take place overnight, or during this couple of days of storms, and I might be lucky to see my first fry.

    Wow exciting. I need some advice please. I have some bristle nose plecos. 12 of them. I got them little like babies. Anyway the other day I noticed in one of my caves I saw eggs. I didn't want my african cichlids to eat them, So I had a 10 gallon tank and went out and got a sponge filter and a heater. I moved some of my substrate from the 40 gallon and filled my 10 gallon with the the water from my 40 gallon. I moved the cave into the 10 gallon with the male and today no more eggs they are gone. I did add my fuval aquacelar 50 onto it as well. What am I missing? I did add a female to the 10 gallon tank. Any more suggestions? I don't want to spend alot of money on this just trying to breed albino bristle nose plecos. If I see eggs do I need to move the male and female out of the 10 gallon tank? Any advice please.
    thanks in advance.

    • @FoisyAquatics
      @FoisyAquatics  2 года назад

      The male likely ate the eggs in stress. The best thing you can do is leave him alone when you see eggs. They will hatch in 4-5 days

  • @Isaiah-hy2xf

    Hey I have a question. I have a pair of bristlenose and woke up to a bunch of eggs which were just sitting near the front of the tank. I could see tails wiggling and some broke free as I watched. It was quite a surprise to see this. I needed to do a water change though as the tank was due so was very careful to just take up the poop and zucchini bits in the tank. I added a couple extra pieces of driftwood to make sure there was ample wood to grow food for the babies. This made the tank go kind of cloudy so I added half of the amount of recommended stuff to clear the cloudiness.
    Next morning the tank was much better but I can not see a single baby pleco anymore whereas the day before there was maybe 15 little babies I saw. The male is still in his cave and last night the female was hanging out sleeping beside the cave. Did they eat the newly hatched babies? I am wondering if there are still eggs in the cave or if the babies went back in?
    Newbie here!!

    • @FoisyAquatics
      @FoisyAquatics  2 года назад

      They do not typically eat the newly hatched fry. Are you sure they aren't hiding under or in the wood?

    Hey there, I know this video is super old but it’s worth a shot, I currently have some fry with egg sacks still in an incubator. I’d guess another day or two until the sack is gone. How should I move these guys from the incubator to the breeding box? And would it be safe to do so with them still having egg sacks?

Now, I think I have 50 pr more babies! Guess I better get some more grow out space ready!!!!

    Actually it took me a few months to find a bristle nose. I went to several stores, time and time again. Look on line. The reason why I wanted a BN is because they are cute, grow only about five inches. You see I have exotic goldfish and I wanted one pleco for each tank.

    still not sure about the male-female ratio you mentionned at minute 9... A friend of mine keeps a tank with indeed one male and one or more females, and after breeding, she takes out the female(s), to give a period of rest to the male. he can recover from not eating during his guardening time.
