My bristle nose Pleco eggs just hatched and I was wondering how long I can keep them in the egg Tumblr? Also how soon should I introduce a piece of wood and food. Would a small piece of cucumber be a good source of food?

You can move them to a breeder box anytime
I like to start out all my pleco with a seasoned almond or oak leaf but a piece of seasoned wood would work as well
You could try to introduce soft foods like flakes and they should take to them pretty quick
I usually get mine to about .75” then let them loose in the growout tank.
