Caylor's Aquatics I generally always give options due to the fact I always have more than 1 male per tank. Quite often I get 2 or 3 batches of eggs in 1 tank. In tanks that have fry eating species of fish in them I like to offer very “tight” caves so the male can protect the fry more easily. Like I said in the video they will eventually breed in just about any nook or cranny, but I like to have a bit of control where they breed, by offering the male more choices on where I want them to breed👍🏻 thanks for watching and the kind words Bob

@@JNAQUARIUM URGENT HELP I have bristle nose plec fry and I want to move them out of breeder into a nurserie tank shall I add a filter but my filter gap is big enough for the fry to get sucked in

@@danielevans9106 put a piece of sponge over the filter intake, or a fine mesh

@@danielevans9106 Thank you for your great video explaining how to carefully extract and raise the fry. I am hoping to see my first eggs and fry very soon and have Peppermint Bristlenose and both long and short fin Albinos. The males are in their caves , and my Albino short fin Bristlenose has been fussy, and has kicked out a couple of females in the last few days, but with a storm on the way and a 40'/. water change, he is tonight displaying his strong fins and in and out of the cave to feed. I have noticed while the rest of the Albinos in the tank are uniform white, the male is quite red as he displays his fins and the two femals inspecting his cave have reddish belly"s. Have you noticed this colour change behaviour prior to breeding? My PH is 7.2 and temperature is dropped to 72 degrees to hopefully encourage them to breed, so I hope to see my first eggs and fry very soon

Heather Lovejoy MY FISH ADDICTION We are glad to be helpful👍🏻

King's Aquariums thank you for watching👍🏻

@@JNAQUARIUM I have some baby bristlenose plecs now too

wix.to/Y8ArCvc I believe this is the larger of the 2 I advertise. My large long fins breed regularly in the smaller option. wix.to/m8AvCvc How this helps!

Thank you👍🏻 As often as needed. I know that sounds like a smart ass answer but its not. Depends on alot of factors. How much feed, amount and size of fish in the system, how much filtration etc. It cannot be a accurate 1 size fits all answer.

I am not familiar with that filter but if it had a intake that they would fit through then yes

Yes

To hold raw zucchini down for the plecos to eat

I have some goldens but they are young. The colour morphs between ancistrus would not prevent them from breeding. Try switching food up, maybe change temp up or down a couple degrees and move the caves around or offer different types.

@@JNAQUARIUM thank u for the reply, I'll definitely do as u said

Depends what caves you are looking for. Check out JN AQUARIUM on facebook and send me a message. 7” sounds awfully big for a bn. Is that a long fin and including the tail?

@@JNAQUARIUM message sent !

The cheapest place to get it is the wish app. Other than that health food stores are tour best bet!

Good for keeping zucchini sunk! Stainless steel, no rust 👍🏻

Elastic a fine mesh over the filter intake

@@JNAQUARIUM I don't have either so could I ran a nurserie tank with no filter

If you are serious about saving babies I would just get what you need. Taking short cuts or not using a filter is not the best....
