I'm lost maybe confused lol... I found my female bristle in a small cave.... I started thinking was she stuck.... So I moved it and a baby fell out... How many do they have? What on earth do I do with them lol... This was the last thing I thought would happen... I figured once I moved and set up my 285 I might see babies... I have babies :nilly: What do I feed them? They are cute but AAAHhhhh!
 
Firstly the male pleco broods and cares for his young, so if the female was in the cave the male has already vacated it; this would be an odd thing depending on if he has had fry before (one of my males left the cave soon after the fry were free swimming, another male will reside in the cave until I remove the damn thing from the tank).

Bristlenose plecos will not harm or eat their fry. Other fish will. To maximize survival you will likely need another tank, or a breeder net with air stone. Feed lots of green beans, zucchini, lettuce, shrimp pellets, and keep up on the water changes.
