What's happening guys. On this episode I'll be telling you how to breed bristlenose plecos. Follow along and I'll give you some handy hints and tricks to get them breeding for you.
Nice vid again - like the running commentary. Yes this definitely beats the exhausting, head banging, death metal music that a lot of the Amuurican uploads force on us calm
Bristlenose are a really good fish to have a go at breeding since the all the factors which contribute to success you outlined in the video are relevant for any of the plec species.
Aquarium co-op interviewed an expert pleco breeder a while back, and his top tip for survival was to start feeding the fry after a few days, and not let the yolk sack deplete fully. Which actually makes a lot of sense because in nature, the fry would scavenge whatever and whenever they could.
Great video Mark. This will certainly help me to get my Bristle nose plecos to breed. On the other hand. I do have them in a heavily planted aquarium and do not see them often. For all I know they did breed and the other community fish got to the little ones.😳 But I will move a male and female to a separate tank and try again. Once again, good informative video.
I finally have a 2nd spawn after 2 years! First batch i missed and have 7 swimmers, today on new years 1st Jan 2022 I see eggs! So going to try and pull them... just realise how I miss watching your channel. Happy new year everyone
Thank you sir, for your efforts in teaching us to raise our fish successfully. I'm up to 8 fry species in my fish room this morning, many were made possible with your great information.
Hay mate awsome videos bro. I Use the plant pots cut in half for them and thay love it!!. Baby's every 2 weeks. In my grow out tank all I use is a sponge fillter In a 80L tank with around 200 plecos in it. From fry to adults. ' water changes every 2 days" Thay eat zucchini and a catfish pallet and good flake food. The pallets are very good for conditioning for females. I'm in new zealand by the way..
"This is how plecos roll" - gave me a chuckle.

I would love plecs but only have 60ltr tanks and I know they grow pretty big. I still love watching your fishkeeping videos, nice one mate.
Cheers for this video, I recently just got my first pleco and it is great to get some more information, keep up the good work👍😃
Nice Bristlenose! Well done Mark 👍🐠

Mark your the man excellent channel great content 💯💯💯
Nice work Mark.... Grab some REPASHY gel food for your Pleco's. It's unbelievable and is not full of fillers. Good stuff indeed.
