Love this video!! I live in Texas, no wonder mine are not spawning right now! I wish he would ship!!!

Love watching the old videos

Informative! Great interviewing skills as well.

This video was very informative and helpful for me because I’m starting to breed bristlenose plecos.

thanks for all the information (great interview)

Thank you so much! It was very informative! God Bless.😊👍

Thanks for the upload

You ask the best questions! Great interview. One question - what’s the minimum temp for breeding? (I keep my tanks at 73 in the winter and 78 or higher in summer.)

1st. Awesome Sir💥💥💥💥💥

I love your hat!! I want 1 of those!! Love the black color with your logo! Looks sick!!!

Thanks

Very informative, thank you. What's his preferred brand/size of pellets?

I'm in Australian liking video just getting into these.

Just making sure that’s his Facebook in the description right? I messaged it to see if he has a male and female albino bristlenose ready to breed that I could buy

Great video I think I might have seen you playing golf you golf around Massachusetts?

I need bristle nose in my life!

what kind of canister filter is that he uses?

I'm sorry if I missed it but did he talk about the caves he uses?

What are those fish in the first tank with the yellow and black tail

I'm a novice when it comes to aquarium fish, and ask questions when they come to mind. Here he mentioned something about L144. I hear alpha-numerics referred to often. What do those refer to? Thanks in advance for your reply!

yes get him to ship, he should want to since the clubs meetings n auctions are getting cancelled

Went to a fish swap and got 11 BN plecos: 3 albino, 3 super red, 5 brown. They're all 1-1.5" long and live in a 160 gallon community tank. Fed algae wafers, flakes, shrimp pellets, Repashy community plus, and of course algae. How long might it take them to reach minimum breeding size? Maybe up to a year?

How long, after fry have hatched in their cave should I wait to move them to a grow out tank?

What pellets did he feed??

Hi please can you tel me will the bristle nose pleco only breed with its own colour ie super red x super red or if you have a male and female which are different colours will these also breed ? and how many varieties/colours are there of the bristlenose pleco Paul from the uk

is it ok to pair wherein the male is bigger than the female?

Awesome video. I just found bristlenose longfin pleco eggs and the father is watching them. Do you think I should take him out and put him in my separate tank with his eggs? I only have platy fry in the other tank I want to put him in

What is the smallest pelco in the hobby?

great video thank you so much so, what's the best temperature for careing the Super Red L144?

I tried to separate mine. I have two males and two females. One of my L144s has a spot on his tail that looks like the normal plecos, dark with light spots. So he is in a tank with a female angel that kills any swimming fish she can catch. I put the other male in my hospital tank, but 15 minutes ago I noticed what looked like a corn nibblet hopping around on the bottom. Guess I'm going to have to learn how to ship fish because I live WAY out in the country.

Did I see that some tanks had more than one type of Bristlenose in it? Does Phil allow them to cross breed?

I've been trying to breed bristle nose for a year now, but I have not had a single spawn. Feed them fresh veggies, algea wafers, have multiple spawning caves, 4 females, and 1 male, all around 4 to 5 inches. I have tried cold water changes lowering. ph, nothing works. I have even swaped out the male for another still nothing.

I have had females with bristles but very small

Man would love to have a hand full of those trumpet snails

I wish someone would work on breeding a smaller bristlenose pleco that is about 1/3 the size. If we can breed poodles from wolves, it should be possible.

we're he located I'm in n.y.c brooklyn

Hi Jason. Yesterday, I was shocked to find and albino male pleco in his cave with dozens and dozens of babies. Yikes! He had been in a tank with a common pleco that was given to us. I was moving him to another tank when they all spilled out of the cave. O.O I didn't even think they were big enough to breed. All the babies are dark like the mother and are swimming. What do you think they will look like when grown? Will they get as big as a common pleco? How hard will it be to find them homes? Thanks, Sue

Will my 2 male fire red bristlenoses mate with my female cheese creek when I introduce her to the tank? In a heavily wooded and planted shrimp tank with mystery snails.

So you need to keep males and females apart and introducing them triggers breeding? I have only 1 large tank with one mature couple and two juveniles (too young to gender).

How much tank size is better to breed one couple of albino Bristlenose plecos?

You look like you would be Jacob feders dad…..

If only the video was longer than 15 minutes. That's what I would do! Ah well.

Hi would you have any tips on catching the baby bristlenoses

👍 how interesting. Loved hearing about your breeding.

Is he selling pleco breeding pairs I want a pair

What's the best Repashy food for BN plecos? I'm guessing Bottom Scratcher, Soilent Green, Super Green, or Morning Wood. (You know whomever named that last one had a really good laugh! 😂)

Some of the sponges in the tanks are covered in algae, take it these aren’t cleaned, so what’s the reasoning behind that. 🤔 As the biological filtration can’t be working properly.

Put a ice cube or two in the water

He doesn't ship, must be nice to be able to sell all those Plecos locally. I supply 1 pet store with Super Red Bristlenose and they take them to a regional reptile show once a year that was cancelled this year. I just recently moved over 1000 to 2 300 gallon stock tanks and separated any breeders to stop having babies. 😲

He should ship lol

My bristlenoses had fry last week, they're in the cave with their dad, now I know to pull em out and separate them from dad, can raise em alone.

This things multiply like flies once they start, than what to do with so many becomes a real problem.

Why do my pleco babys die after 3-4 weeks

Can hehey be a meme

Master breeder😆😆🤦‍♂️ ive had hundreds of females with bristles on the top lip, males get them coming up the nose almost to the eyes and will get them smaller than 2.5", ive spawned females with bristles

How can you be a master Breeder of bristlenose when they r so easy

I would like to buy nine female to start my breeding pairs

No, female bristle nose can have bristles . otherwise Id have 2 males breeding , I have a longfin male and a albino female and she has a little row of bristles like the male albino you show 2:32 . Straight off the bat your incorrect .

One thing I've noticed regarding sexing is the nostrils, the males have a protruding thingmebob beside each nostril, the females don't. When it comes to my technique for breeding them, I have a three step plan that has not yet failed me. 1st step is to get either a male or a female, 2nd step you need the opposite gender, it's very important that you get a male and a female, non binary plecos might not be a biologically viable pair. For the 3rd and final step, put them in the tank, now for this part, it does need to be the same tank if they are to breed successfully write that down if it'll help you to remember it. I all seriousness, If you have hardscape in their tank they might even make their own cave, or find one that you've built, but a breeding cave of some description is a necessity, and a clay one from your local fish shop will make your life easier, provided that they choose to use that and not the hole they've dug out in your manicured aquascape just under the seiryu stone by the front glass... And now you know how I accidentally started breeding bristlenose.

Too many commercials

Slightly wrong about females on the blue eyed, Females do and can have bristles on the lips. Males have them going up the face and lips.

You lost me at L144 lemon blue. It’s embarrassing to be someone that supposedly breeds bristlenose as a profession and market their bristlenose improperly. The L144 is not a real thing anymore. It was a one off fish. The original L144 was one male imported from Paraguay to Germany. They died off and no longer are in the hobby. Those fish are not L144 they are just Ancistrus sp. plain lemon blue eye. Using L144 is just a way to mark up product. There’s literally only 1 picture in the whole world of the only L144. All credibility out the window
