bristle nose questions

[paopanlilio]

Hi guys
just wondering
at what size would bristlenose plecos develop the bristles
and how soon would they get to that size from 1 inch

All i know is more bristles means male ...less female... mine was very hairy by the time he was 2 inches...while my albino is still hairless at 2 inches...

yup i also have a 2 incher still hairless and its also albino
currently got three and its hard to sex em becuse of the hair isnt visible yet
so plan is im getting a few more to get both sexes

thats the plan im gonna get like 10 more currently have 3 with 13 i thinks its more than enogh to get a pair ortwo then im gonna distribute the others to different tanks

 

[Red Devil]

thats definitly a good plan...one thing about the bushy is they fit in almost all the tanks... they are hardy and everyone needs a few....

another good one to breed ,... and they never go out of popularity.. every tank needs cories too...i even have a bunch... love the bandits... but i have many types.. good luck.. i am sure your LFS will buy many from you...
