Breeding ANB help

First topic message reminder :

I have an albino Bristlenose male and a Brown Bristlenose females together . It's been about two months now and still no eggs. I do have another ABN male. Should I put both of the males in with the one female? Will that get something going?

I breed mine with 2 males, 6-8 females. The dominate male usually does all the breeding. He will do 1 to 5 or 6 females at once sometimes. I get lots of fry this way. I strip them from his cave before they start leaving it and raise them in bare bottom tanks for ease of maintenance, they poop a lot and are quite messy. I have 4 breeder groups and tons of fry this way. Really about all it akes to breed them is a male and female. I have found that the younger males do better so I rotate males sometimes if they slow down.

Ok thanks.

i cant wait till my discus grow out. i'm gonna try to breed my ABN.

i hope this works for you. cause im next.

you and me both Alan!
Thank you Whisper for starting this thread! I'm sure there are several other people reading and learning!

You are welcome. I'm learning a lot also.

Mine have been getting increasingly bigger numbers of eggs and fry too. First spawn was like 20, then 40, last one was huge!

mine are at it again. he has anohter female trapped so i will have eggs tonight. keep trying and i will happen. i also found that when i left them alone and stop checking them everyday for eggs they were more willing to breed.

*Cough-brag* flashlight boy!...why are you not able to breed the L260s then

The most I have gotten from mine so far is a fight......

lol. jojo. they require work lol.

I don't think the clay pot is what you need for breeding. It could work, but mine like a tube. The tube's that I use have a 2" opening and in the bottom it's about 1" wide. They are also 6" long. If all else fails try one of the many breeding tube's that are out there.
