Hi everyone, just signed up and thought I should say hello.
I've recently started keeping bristlenose and hope to breed at some point, a hobby I suppose I've picked up from my father as he used to breed them often and currently still keeps a Breeding Peppermint trio that I rather Envy.
Anyway, thanks for having me hope to see you all around
*edit*
Also, Thought I should mention I'm currently attempting to breed Albino BN in a 2ft tank, 1Male of large size (8-10cm) and three females (4-5cm) not sure if this is too much? Some local advice I've been given is to actually have a ratio of 3 males to 1 female but this seemed quite contradictory to most of what I read and the 1m-3f ratio I used to follow with guppies
I also have a smaller tank that I'm not entirely sure of its length that I was tempted to throw a Pair of commons into, even though I've only recently started the hobby I kind of snapped up bristlenose from a few places and currently have most housed in a community 4ft tank at a friends place. In all honesty I'm not entirely sure what I've got in there right now but I know there should be 2 common males about 8cm in length and another albino with less impressive bristles (unless its possible I've got a female with some bristles running up the nose)
