I thought I would introduce myself. My name is Robert Leonard. I live in carlisle Iowa about 7 miles from capital. I have neen breeding angelfish with a lot of success since 1997 and have decided to try bristlenose. I have 15 bristlenose currently (3 am not sure of 2 are a pair of brown longfins and 10 albino bristles that I am waiting impatiently for to pair up). I guess I should say my black angels and blue blushing have been the best breeders so far. My albino angels are good breeders but am still working on getting the fry to survive.

Hello and a warm welcome!

I have bred numberous bristlenose, but newer seen any "pair upp" - I have allways thought, that a suitable breedingcave for the male and some proper feeding was the right path to take.

I usually set up one big male with 2-3 females, and supply the male a hollow mahogny root.

I am at the moment got a breeding trio of bristle noses

they actually spawn in a custom made slate cave
the cave being 90mm x 40mm x 40mm,, and they get fed on a mixture of earthworms, bloodworms,cucumber and lettuce
and tablet food. bye the way i moved house last November
and they started to spawn on the 30th December and havnt stopped since

Thx for the welcome. Allan I apologize for the term pair up still stuck in angel talk I guess. I willl try to link you guys to some pics of them and the setup I've been utilizing for spawning them. Hopefully if I am on wrong path you guys can straighten me out.
