Some mature a little sooner than others, so they can begin to spawn as early as 9 months of age, some a little older. In my experience with Bristlenose, they've matured before they were a year old. Good diet and tank conditions help too. This batch is 2 and 1/2 months old.

Unhealthy obsession?
Recieved today. Absoultely stunning! Thank you so much. These are an awsome addition to the tank. Very nice to have something that's not just the common LFS stock. Was very funny to see them go straight to work on my glass (It just so happend that I havn't cleaned it in 3 weeks in anticipation of their arrival) and driftwood. Looking forward to watching them grow.
Debbi - do you have any short fins left? i might be interested on one of these guys (or gals) and i might find myself down near florham park on tuesday or wednesday of next week so maybe i can arrange a pickup...
just for a little more information one of these fish would be ok in a 30 gallon community tank, and they will help take care of algae but will definitely need additional food supplements.

Coach - I should have 2 or 3 regular fins left. I'm packing up a bunch of orders on Monday night and will know for sure then. One would be fine ina 30G community, they are totally peaceful. They will eat biofilm and any soft algae and diatoms from everything in the tank and do need to be supplemented to complete their diet. Zuchinni slices and algae wafers are normal fare for bristlenose. Mine get a variety of sinking pellets/sticks. Pickup would be easy for you. I work in Parsippany which is a hop away from Florham Park, so I could take the fish to work!
Debbi - sounds great, contact me on Monday night if you have one and we will see what we can do.
