We had a discussion on the genetics of bristlenoses a while back, so a search for "Calico Ancistrus" would probably find it. If not, try "Calico genetics" or some other combination of "Calico, ANcistrus , Genetics"

As to the numbers, I would say any number from 2 up - if you get a male and a female, you can probably produce as many as you like... They are generally rather easy to breed.

Edit: I got bored and did a search: http://www.planetcatfish.com/forum/view ... 8&p=147141
