water parameters

Is there a chart that explains the correct water parameters temp for each type of bristle nose available and how to set up your tank naturally for constant breeding

Not on this forum that i am aware, atleadt for all types but i do.know some people do keep them or have previously.

 

I have bred albino bristlenose and peppermints previously. Dont rmember the perimeters but if u want them to breed you will require caves for them. The most common ones are cyclinderical and made of ceramic. You just need to work out what size you need as you want one which is not overly big just enough to fit the male and female in snuggly. They will squeeze in then the female will leave and the male will stay in the eggs fanning them. If the cave is too big he may jick the eggs out or just not breed all together.

They will generally breed of a night time and need plenty of places to hide and driftwood. Only put 1 cave in per male and bare in mind depending on the breed the males can be territorial.

 

Aim for a ratio of 1m3f bristlenose to increase ur chances.
