Post by Quandale »

Back in November i purchased a group of 6 bristlenose plecos, I've started noticing some bristle development and sexual dimorphism and i want to know how long till they can breed?

It is more their size than a matter of time. With most plecos, it's once they reach about 50-60% of SL. Within that range it's more for smaller plecos, less for larger ones.

HTH,
