Bristlenoses fighting over zucchini, what do I do?
- Thread starter Fungi
- Start date
here is the most simple solution for you..... just go to Walmart, get some weights... there called "decorations" but there heavy enough,.... anyways, get the weights... and tie the zucinne onto the weights using a rubber-band..... PRESTO!.... another thing that might help you is.... put more than one piece of zucinne in the tank...... yea they might not eat it all, but as long as you take it out within 24hrs, there should be no problem....
Just updating for people who may be interested:
I cut up three zucchini slices (but didn't blanch them, I'm going to try that next). I then got two spoons (I didn't want to use forks incase the BNs hurt themselves on the prongs) and placed them laterally through the handle, one spoon had two pieces on it (we were running short of spoons).
I placed one spoon near the cave and one near the driftwood, worked like a charm! The agressive bristlenose naturally chose the largest piece in the choicest location, directly outside the cave, the one which was being bullied went to the piece near the driftwood and the third hangs upside-down on the third piece of zucchini underneath the spoon.
I'm going to continue through the other methods and find what works best, it may turn out there's something easier.
Thanks for all your help guys, BTW, gratz on MG changing his avatar
