| Hong, can you take a picture and differentiate between the male and female parent? I have a few bn's and want to know how to sex mine. Side by side pics are the easiest way to study and tell the difference. | |

| Once your BN's are older, it gets pretty obvious which one is male vs female. Males have a face full of bristles; most females have none ...others have a few on the sides of their faces. Here's a picture of my regular BN's I'm trying to breed. Male Female | |

Yes, females don't get as many bristles, and the males look like Medusa. I Finally had the time to take pics of my albino ones that spawned earlier this month. Male - Dad Female - Mom Oldest male in my tank Baby bristlenose | |

| Every 4 weeks, give or take a few days. I've gotten about 40-50 BN fry from each spawn. | |

| Wow. Excellent. I am really hoping I can get mine to spawn. They are popular around here but no one can spawn them. I have the market cornered! | |

That would be awesome. What is your set-up for the BN? Mine is: driftwood + 78-80F + Caves + Sinking Spirulina wafers | |

| Congrats dude.
My brown breeders have been doing the same, one batch after the other, it's annoying to keep up with them. | |

Congrats. Let us know when you decided to sell those bad boys. :) Is it okay to mix the plecos if they are different ages? I have two separate groups one month apart, didn't want to combine them in a 40 Breeder if they'll end up killing each other. | |

| I would think they would be fine until they reach adulthood and get territorial. | |
