Lol. Mine are still pretty small. They've grown just a little, but I'll definitely get some more pics tonight to post.

Great looking fish! Mine still aren't showing sex yet, but I just read today that if you put PVC in your tank, only the males will stay in the pipe. I don't know how true that is, especially at this young age, but I figure it's worth a try. I'm going to get some and see if they respond. I still won't rely on that for sexing though...lol.

While some species of plecos will do this, like the L333, it is not true for bristlenose. All the young will go in and out of the cave ramdonly but to clean the biofilm off only. My females check my caves out once in a while, but they may be eating biofilm as well. And the males aren't in the cave at all until a few days before they spawn with the females.

For some reason, I was thinking I had already posted some pics on this thread...lol.

Anyway, here's some pics of mine:

And here's the tank I keep them in:

Mine came from pinkertd. Here's a link to the parents: Link

Unfortunately, I don't have anymore photos of them at the moment, but I can sure try to get some tonight.

mine love banana and pears over just about everything i put in there. the b/n, shrimp and sae's fight constantly nudging one another off of it. the one thing i haven't done yet is snello but i dust everything with cuttlebone for the snails and shrimp.

a shredded pinch of chicken breast off the george foreman grill is probably a close third with most of them but i haven't seen the b/n respond to it yet.

Wow. I'll have to get some fruits like that.
