Bristlenose pleco breeding journal

[Loves severums]

Ok This is my fist time try to breeding Bn plecos. I took my male albino Bn pleco and swich it with my brown BN pleco And when i did that i hear lots of noise in the tank after i turn off the light. So yesterday i got up around 10 am and i just got done eating and came up stair to turn on lights in the tanks and i turn on The BN pleco tank lights and i found 5 eggs out side the cave and the male is inside the more eggs. So i guess My Female didn't like the male albino Bn pleco. lol But the male is in the cave with the other eggs.


I will keep pictures and log about the eggs and how they are doing.


Day 1 - Female layed eggs

Today is day 2 - doing good look fine.

Thanks And i feed them both a lot of food and made sure the male had a cave and lower the temp, did water changes then i switch my male albino Bn pleco with my Brown BN male pleco and he got her to spawn for him.
