They are HERE!! LF Marbled Bristlenose Juvenile purchase! PICS added.

I'm so excited! I am currently in the works finalizing an order for some LF brown marbled bristlenose juveniles! I can't wait for them to get here. My first online fish purchase, I hope they arrive fine but the seller has a very good reputation. I bought 5 and hope to get a pair or two from them to start breeding them myself.

Here is a glimpse of what they will look like. The pics are of the actual fish not parents.

Very cool!

I'm probably more excited than I should be. Lol and if all goes according to plan I should be getting 6 rhombo barbs to add to my 75 gallon next week!

It always exciting to get new fish. Cant wait to see pics when they come in.

I got 5 bristlenose, two 5-6" wendtii green, ten 6" italian vallisneria and shipping all for $70 not bad, other places are wanting $9.99 to 14.99 each for the plecos and they aren't as colorful as these were.

Congrats on the purchase!  They look like they are pretty good sized already.  You shouldn't have to wait too long for breeding to start.  

Looks like they are approximately 2". What size are yours when they start(ed) breeding Betty?

NeatO!

If you get them to breed and you are going to share I would be in line for 1.

I'm betting they will breed. That's the plan. Of course I'll put you in line!

I'd say around 2.5 inches, maybe even smaller.

Cool, some good food and I should be there soon enough

They ship out monday and I should have them wednesday! Eeeee! Haha oh man. I need a hobby, oh wait..

Now I know I need to brush up on my pleco knowledge. I never even knew bristlenoses could look like those. Very nice. I hope they turn out as you planned and that you end up with a nice mating pair. And it sounds like you got a good deal on stuff. Have fun with your new endeavor and post pics.

I just came across them recently and had to have some. I called an LFS and asked if they wanted juveniles and they said they were very interestedld buy any I bring in but of course I want to give fellow members on here the option to buy as well.

This reminder that I doubt I need is teasing me!!

Three more days... It's always fun getting a new species!

I get 2 new species this week hopefully. On an order list this week if they can get them for rhombo barbs! Excited for those too!

Awh, fish store emailed me that the rhombos aren't on the list for this week. So he wrote them in instead hoping he may still get some. I might have to order them from somewhere else

Plecos are still on the way...   

Hopefully! The guy was supposed to email me and I haven't heard from him either :/ uhg..

FINALLY heard from his this morning after I emailed him last night. They were shipped yesterday and he sent tracking number as well. Just looked it up and says it should be here tomorrow as planned!! Eeeee Now if I can only hear good news about the rhombo barbs tonight!

Hope all goes well with your new acquisitions and that everyone arrives healthy and happy.

Thanks, this is my first time ordering fish and getting them shipped. So I'm a little nervous. But he has perfect ratings on aquabid so I think they should be good.

AHHHH!!! They are here!! And all are alive! I am more excited that I was expecting their arrival! They appear to be VERY healthy and also very active. Super happy with the purchase. Their fins are amazing! Got a little picture happy and I will of course add new pictures when they are settled in. Enjoy the pictures!!

Lol, its true. My boyfriend, who is not a fish enthusiast and doesn't get it, got drug into where the tank is and I said "I know you don't care and this has no interest to you but I'm excited so suffer for a few minutes and just pretend for me. Look at my new fishies!!"

Yeah...glad they arrived in good condition. Still will cross fingers that acclimation will go well. They look beautiful and I'm so happy for you.

Thanks! So far so good. I have them netted in a giant net I use for my 8" pleco just in case since I don't want to chase them all over. Put a small anubias nana in with them that's floating for some cover and feeling safe. I removed one fish from the tank I thought might pose a threat. So far so good.
