well here are some pics of the eggs:

well they laid some more eggs yesterday so it looks like i will have a few more babys

Well i have 2 females , so they spawn quite alot and it looks like the first female who laid eggs are getting ready to lay some more

I really want to go and dive the Lakes in africa, so this year i'm taking my beginner diving course i hope to go to africa when i leave college!

Thanks Kana3 i do have a usual vac so i will make sure there are no fry in there before i tip it away!

well i'm in the same boat as well kana, but i'm going to leave the catfish in my main tank because there are loads of drift wood to hide in and the biggest fish in there are tetras, i'm not sure how many are swimming around my tank but sometimes i see 3 or 4 at once. OO and i forget to say that i ha...

Yea they are free swimmers and got huge ornage bellies so how long does it usaually take for them to absorb them??

**Update**

Well the eggs hatched and got lots of babies that are doing well

Well, my bristlenoses have finally done it i have some eggs :D the male is currently in there fanning them and the females are eating. I'm just so excited seeing these are the first catfish eggs i have ever had i just thought i would tell you guys because you have been such good help. Yay :D - Jonno

Okay thank you i will put some in and see what they think of it

Hi,

I have read in a book that carrots make really good food for fish and they use to use it to bring out the colouring.

So i was just wondering if it would be alright for bristlenoses ?

You certainly can i found an air guitar in mint condition

well my females are near enought out all the time or on the drift wood, my male spends most of his time under his cave hes got bristles but there only small compared to my other common male which is full grown in my other tank. I feed them pellets, algae wafers and cucumber and sometime bloodworms. ...

well i got 3 bristlenoses 2 weeks ago 2 females 1 male hopeing, to breed them when they get a bit bigger. So i put lots of caves, tunnerls etc in the tank. So the male decides to dig under a bit of driftwood so he has to go in it upside down and its a bit on the tight side. So i was wondering do you...

Wow, you most be so proud,and hope they all do well!
