Bristlenoses

How many do you have and what type? i have about 12 albino and 3 regular colored ones? should i get a good breeding pair out of them?

I have a chocolate longfin bristenose, hes a little guy and has really nice color, cant wait for him to get bigger. Does anyone know how long it takes them to reach full size?

chocolate longfined sounds pretty

I have 3 of Betty's little guys. Want them to grow quicker so that I can get them into the 210g at a size where they wont get ate. They are in my 120g right now and I am impressed at their abilities at cleaning.

lol i'am too impressed how good they are at cleaning i half to feed mine lots of zucchinne since they eat more then the 29 g can handle also , did you see the add for free albinos? thats where i got 12 today the guy lives in lake tapps but he met me at RHS and i got two cichlids for free with them lol

What are you going to do with 12 albinos?

No I missed the ad, I had just wanted a few so when the 3 came from Betty that was just what I needed. Are the albino longfin or regular? If they are regular albino, I might be willing to trade something for a couple....

What kind of cichlids did you end up with? Are you able to take these on?

I have eight albinos that are not mature yet and a bunch of regular bristlenose. I've separated the male from females because I had way too many and they kept producing more. I'm glad they are doing their algae cleaning jobs for you.

i wanted a breeding pair of albinos and a breeding pair of regulars lol idk what to call them and yes their regular fins? and idk what kind of cichlid they are purpleish black bodies then yellowish fins i know nothing about cichlids or how to tell them apart except for africans with the stripes lol and kribs
