My New Lemon Bristlenose!!!

Post by pest control »

Yesterday i bought 7 lovely little lemon BN's. they are great little characters and seem very healthy. they've had cucumber and peas up to now, along with algae wafers of course. they don't seem too keen on the cucumber though, so i'll see if the courgette plants bear any fruit... i mean vegetables. i didn't buy them for algae. but the algae is rapidly disappearing from my big piece of bogwood. these are already becoming one of my favourite fish, here are some pics:
sorry for the rubbish pic quality, i took some better pics, but photobucket won't upload them. :( oh, and they look like they have red eyes in the pics, but that's just the camera. they are lemon BN's not albino.

I also gave the 10 kribs to my local MA, as they were bullying the corys, and i definitely wasn't going to risk the BN's. when i went i took back some manado, as i'm getting a better substrate, and they wouldn't even give me a refund, they just gave me a credit note. :thumbdown:

anyway, while catching the kribs i managed to make a bit of a mess of my tank!:

i've replanted everything now, and hopefully the plants will do ok. i'll upload some better pics soon if it'll let me.

cheers :D

They look nice. About 2" or so? I think the first one looks like a female, but they are a bit small to say for sure.
