My Bristlenose Just Bred, Now What?

[Cammo X]

well as the title says basically. i moved them into a 6ft yesterday(soon to be arow tank), and just today i was moving around the old tank and realized there eggs on the inderside of a big rock, i have tried to breed them in the past and failed, but just when i give up after a couple of months, they BREED!! now by the time they hatch the jar and bullrout will be out into the new 6ft. and i just got both the BN out of the 6ft and put it back into the old one, to fan the eggs or something. so there will be nothing in the tank except for the BN's. now im just gonna say that they bred yesterday morning, cause the eggs are orange and only 1 is clear. how long will i have to wait until i see littlefins everywhere? oh and i dont have a heater in there, and i havent had one for some months, will this effect the fry?

thnx all, im sorta looking for a quick replie!

I think you could just raise them if you had a tank to spare and then sell them when they are big enough.

the wigglers should be out soon, about a week if i rememeber. IF the father goes to fan them he will be in there for quite some time. He wont let the babies out till they are big enough. as for the heater ive used one in all my tanks and never without one in my breeding pairs tank so i dont know how the babies will do without it.

well i just had a look then and half the eggs aree missing and some of them are clear and broken, and the male isnt even there anymore. so i guess it didnt really work out, i dunno mabye next time, i will post again incase some of the babies still survive!
