  • bristlenose pleco breeding cycle

    I have a few pairs (2 - 3 inch long) of albino bristlenose plecos in my community tank (with discus, tetras and german blue rams).  One of the ABN pair must have decided to get it on recently.  I did not see any eggs laid but when I did a water change a few weeks ago, I saw 2 little ABN fries cligging onto a small crevice of a piece of driftwood.  I quickly moved the 2 remaining babies to a separate tank.  They are about 1/2" long now.  I figured the rest of the fries probably were eaten by discus, tetras and rams.  Not sure which pair actually spawned but I have since moved all 3 pairs to a separate breeding tank.  Does anyone know about the breeding cycle of bristlenose pleco?

      Hi Kev,

      Mine bred about every 5 weeks, til I separated them.
      Not sure if thats normal, but that was their cycle.
      They had about 50 fry at each laying.
