some of my kids are growin' up! they're bristlenose plecos and caucatoides

great pics!
fatty cockatoos :P
mine are about the same size as yours :)

you breed plecos?

well, not intentionally at first, it was just an accident but after that i put a pvc pipe in the tank with the adults and they've bred in there. not lately though...maybe he needs some fishy viagra...

thanks man, they're a lot of fun to watch grow and get personality

Man, that cucumber has been demolished! By plecs and snails! :lol2:

Are young plecs tough? Or do they tend to weak out? I tried two young ones smaller than those in my tanks and they just died? How are they to keep at a young stage?

from that batch i got about 50 of them, and in the first two months i didn't lose any and then at about the third month i started losing some (almost half), but it was after i was gone for a couple weeks, and they didn't get the same care i gave them so it could have been because of that...

oh, and they'll tear through about 4 slices of zuchini a day, hungry little bastards

:laugh:

:D That ois alot of zuchini !!

Sweet :D Plecos and bristlenose are real fun to breed. Ive always had fun when ive done it :D

yeah, it's been pretty fun, i saw an albino bristlenose the other day and i've been thinking about getting it to breed with my regular bristlenose so i can get a mixture of babies out of it--if that's how it works

cool pics.i really like them cockatoos, are they wild caught ?

Whats the realistic possibilities of breeding bristlenose in an actual community tank?

that's where mine bred, i just had to pull the eggs once they got to be wrigglers

those cockatoos are tank raised, as for the parents, i don't know

Thats really cool, thanks for sharing those pics! :D
