I had a male and female bristlenose together for 5 years and they never bred. my male died last month and I got a new male. and I just found 7 babies this morning (Christmas day)
Love your channel, been subscribed for years, was contemplating purchasing some of these today and I knew the basics, it's funny how as I get older I'm happy to share the knowledge that I have and you shared your knowledge very well in this video, what's perplexing is reading all these redundant comments that ask you to tell them what you just told them separately in each comment, like you have the internet in front of you and all of this information awaits and you being a busy TH-cam Guy Fish breeder and all around swell dude are supposed to answer every single question which was already answered, keep on keeping on
Hello Cory. looking for a little information. I got a customized 65g aquarium. I put 22 1"-2" Mbunas in there along with 2 1"-2" bristlenose plecos. One Super Red and One Albino. After a while together I thought the plecos wasn't eating like they should. The Mbunas were eating everthing. So I thought about the 15g Fluval Flex that I have and decided to put the plecos in there so they can get their weight up. By then should have the 90g acrylic. Then I can put one back in the 65g with the Mbunas and 1 in the 90g with the all male Peacocks that I plan on getting. Now my question is, I thought the plecos were both males but turns out this week that they had fry. I don't know when. I clean my tanks every Sunday and I just so happen to clean the substrate in the tanks this weekend. So it's no telling how many they had. We only count about 8. My question is, should I buy another tank or should I rock the 15g until the 90g gets ready in about 5-6 weeks and the two plecos can be separated?
I had my first batch of SR BN fry and everything has been going great with them. I have three adult SR BN (one female and two males) in a 75g community tank while the fry are in a 20g with shrimp. I have noticed the female's fins have been getting super tattered and have read that happens during breeding. Should I move her to the 20g with the fry to have time to heal and be away from the males?
Could A Pair work in a 17 Gallon Cube that would be planted with would and N would have the possibility to remove fry after at a certain age would this setup work?
I have a few questions; how often do you change the water and how much when you do? how often are you feeding them and the fry? Can the fry grow with the parents or are they seen as a threat at some point?? great video and thank you.
+David Ensor In this current setup, water is changed 10% a day automatically, fed 5 times a day, 4 with an auto feeder once by me. The fry can be raised with the parents. Just making sure you keep the water clean as a lot of plecos eat a lot.
I have a male and female about 2 inches big and I added a little cave. At first I saw the female in there and now I see the male in the doorway and he seems to be fanning, but I don't know for sure if there are eggs in there. Not to mention that I have not seen both in there together at the same time. AND to make things weirder he seems to stay in there during the day, but at night he goes elsewhere (the tank light shuts off at night too). Is he fanning eggs or is he just trying to lure the female?
awesome, i almost won on aquabid once for a pair of red bristlenose ancistrus (german strain) very red. but yeah your pair is nice and good to see a positive progress for those frys. i hope this also applies for my starlights but unfortunately they are more harder and needs different type of settings (blackwater).
Cory, I would like to breed some super reds. I have a heavily planted 20 high with about 100 cherry shrimp in it, do you think I could breed the bristle nose in this tank with the shrimp? thanks
you mentioned you feed your bristlenose fry good other than what you feed the adults, is this just flake food? I have some plecocaine, of multiple sizes, I have some especially for fry. hiw often should I feed them when they newly hatched? I breed african cichlids but not plecos lol.
I have 2 pairs in a couminjty tank and there’s 2 caves but they are a little young but they should alomlsf be breeding but the males aren’t caving any tips
Hi my bristle nose pleco has layed eggs majority of them are white but a couple of them are orange, male is still fanning and caring for them is this normal?
hey Cory. been following the new fishroom vids but haven't comment yet. wanted to say these are awesome and hope ur having fun. but can u please do a video on ur DIY lids? keep up the great work buddy.
+Dan Spriggs Thanks, I'll do a video on the lids :) I desperately need to make some, I just have to put a table saw together to do it and it's been wickedly cold and my garage is a mess at the moment where I would assemble it lol. I'm just waiting for a warm day really.
Is it at all possible to breed bristlenose successfully in a community tank with tetrad and corys? I was thinking a basic aquascape with eleocharis to help obscure and make safer the caves of the catfish.
i am trying to start my own talk and breed some albino bristlenose places. can you tell me what i could do to breed them and where i can get them at? i really want them to be happy
What is your ph and temp at? Mines at 7.6 and 78 degrees. There is defiantly a male and a female red Bn in my tank. They have a good cave. I feed them frozen bloodworms the first night. Blanched cucumber the 2nd night. And algae wafers the 3rd night. I feed them every night with this rotation of meals. They eat it all and I take any leftovers out. Any suggestions on y they won't breed is greatly appreciated. Also they've been in the tank for a couple months with no other fish but those 2.
Sounds like you're doing things right, as long as you have male and female eventually they'll spawn. Took about a year before my dwarf claro bristlenose started to spawn.
By accident my albino brisslenose plekos bred in a 250litre! There is like maybe 20+ fry/babies! I removed them from the 250lt and moved them to a smaller tank should I leave them on their own in that tank or should I keep the male and female with them at all times? How long roughly will it take them to grow and just maybe any general tips on looking after them now at the stage after this video? Thanks in advance!
This might be a stupid question - I have three ansistrus, one I believe is female - but no babies yet. I do however have a lot of fish in my 65 gallon tank. What would be some predators of eggs?
+Anna Davidson Snails, catfish etc. But generally you'll see some fry hatch out and then they get eaten if they are breeding cause the plecos are pretty good about protecting their eggs.
I just got an albino bristlenose as well, a baby, and I had no idea that there were "super red" (really bright orange in my opinion) available... however, my 'albino' baby looks identical to the babies of these Super Reds ... I wonder if I'll get lucky and it will have been labeled wrong? I wonder how long they take to get red?
I know this video is a long time ago but I was wondering how and what to feed baby bristtlenose pleco when they finish absorbing their yolk ? Wondering how much to feed and if there is anything special I should do to encourage them to start eating? My bristlenose had babies and they are separated now because of the community tank they are in so I was wondering about the care at the beginning stages of their life .
Cory, I have a bristle nose and one that's not a bristle nose, could that be female and male? They are in separate tanks, but the both are the brown ones. Are there different kinds of plecos?
I have plecos in a communal aquarium I know there male and female because they have breed before how do I separate them from the eggs I like to let them hatch Because I took the eggs before and got one of those baby fish holder things to stick on the side of the tank and both times I did this they went green and died so how do I remove the babies from the tank I can’t leave them in because I have cichlids in there and they will be eaten
Any chance you will be filming any fish room tours this year. I know your pretty busy with your own but i really enjoy watching them. Anyways those bristlenose plecos are pretty sweet, i will be getting a few as soon as my buddies fry grow a bit bigger.
+AQUA NUT In theory I'll be filming one next weekend while I'm in Portland doing fishy things. We'll see how it goes. I'm mostly just need people's rooms to film. I"ll make the time :)
oh really eh well that's awesome i was hoping you would have more coming out. this year. I hope some people reach out to you and get to film their setups. I like your fish room tours because you focus on the fish. anyways thanks for getting back to me. ttyl
Hey Cory. I got a black with white spot bristlenose plecos and they're little. My question is that how long should I wait to go into it's adulthood? Thanks for responding.
Hi. How many eggs does there be at any one time. I have 5 baby's on the glass this morning but the male is still guarding the cave. How many babies should I expect. One of the babies is snow white and parents are brown
+Ahmed Ibrahim Plecos typically will never harm their own babies. But it can be very hard to keep them all well fed. Adults can out compete babies for food in a situation like that.
Hi Cory, any tips for getting bristlenose in the mood to breed? I have a mature pair that have bred previously but I am having no luck getting them to breed. I feed them algae wafers, cucumber/zucchini
Hey man what’s the best way to make a pair ? I had a big common male and 2 common females in a 3 ft tank with my angel fish for about a year they never bread I have removed the big male and put smaller male and female albino Bristlenoses in with the other 2 big female commons hoping they will breed any tips ? Much appreciated
Another helpful video. Thanks! I just obtained my first bristlenose Plecoptera and have introduced him into my peacock tank. Any recommendations on how to successfully ensure he is obtaining his food? I noticed my peacocks going after the algae wafer I sunk for him.
Nice video. I have some Compressiceps Fri about .25". Will a 2.5" bristlenose pleco eat them? There's excess food I need to vacuum but don't want to suck(has happened) up fry. Would the pleco eat then since Comp fry sit on the bottom most of the time? Any info would be great.
I don't think I've ever seen a bristlenose eat something alive. I personally would try it. But I can't guarantee the results as I've never actually done it.
Can I ask you a question? A month or two ago, I got a baby, (tiny) "albino bristlenose pleco" from PetSmart. I am a goldfish guy and have my main aquarium as goldfish but recently set up a smaller aquarium for Tiger Barbs and got this bristlenose for that tank. It's done very well, growing a little every day -- but I am wondering when they turn orange/red and how could you tell , because, my "albino" looks *really like* these "Super Red" babies , and he or she has an orangish concentration around it's belly and behind it's head ... Could it be that I got a Super Red instead of an albino? Any way to tell? Anyway just thought I could pick your brain a little, thank you very much! (and I'll say, he's much cooler than my adult Rubberlip in my goldfish tank ... I see the Rubberlip *maybe* once a week, and that's if I shine a flashlight in the middle of the night ... otherwise I *NEVER* see him. The bristlenose comes out all the time and seems to do a much better job at eating algae, and is a fraction of the size. Anyway thanks much.
My pleco laid eggs in a community tank I want to separate the eggs so they can survive when I do, do I take the pleco with them or leave the pleco with the eggs I need help???
Few questions, what type of lighting do you have? Also what type of food bedding do you have? Any tips for keeping aquarium plants will be helpful thxs
+Aquarium Co-Op the one im looking at is a colour variation of ancistrus cf. cirrius. I believe some call them L144. The guy said once they are scientifically described they lose their L number.. not sure about that haha. Thanks for replying Cory! Your channel is great!
+Sharon Roberts your odds are ok. At 6 youd have a 92% chance to have male and female. Id grow them out first and then put a pair somewhere to spawn them. Im not sure of the math at 4 of them off the top of my head.
Hi Cory, is it possible to breed bristlenoses with 2 males and 2 females in 1 tank? I have 2 females and 1 male at the moment but have another male that I want to add. Any advise?
Question most videos i see about plecos are bristlenose breeding but what about if species of plecos and how do you determine gender when bristles are not available
Is mama supposed to stay with dad the whole time after initial breeding, to eggs hatching and on untill the babies leave the tank? Also at what age are they good to leave the parent(s)?
+Emily Reynolds the dad takes care of them the whole time. They can leave the parent a few days after hatching but can be difficult to catch so moving the parentsbis best if you wanted to do that option.
*Buy a coconut hut for breeding bristlenose plecos: **geni.us/CoconutHut*
Aquarium Co-Op thanks for the video alot of help love ur channal how long do you consider them mature for breeding
Please make more breeding videos like that about other types of fishes
It's always in the works, just gotta find the time.
I had a male and female bristlenose together for 5 years and they never bred. my male died last month and I got a new male. and I just found 7 babies this morning (Christmas day)
Congrats
Love Goldens you're male was probably a female too some females have bristles too.
A bearded lady
Well , sometimes females have bristles and look like males . You might have had two females at the start 🤷♂️
Always something new and useful on this channel! AWESOME!!!!
+wyzemann I try and keep ya guys entertained :)

Mine had over 500 babies :D I was so happy I was like 8-10 years old
Thank you I’m getting brittle noses soon and I am going to try and breed them after at least 3 or 2 years

Is there a certain temperature range that will assist in getting them to breed?
Hi, so do you collect the eggs or just leave them?
I have nine blue eyed long fin plencos they are almost a year should I separate them I have them in a fourth gallon
I just found a ton of pleco babies in my tank. I'll need to move my angel into the plant tank tomorrow
Could A Pair work in a 17 Gallon Cube that would be planted with would and N would have the possibility to remove fry after at a certain age would this setup work?
Awesome video! Those are some nice looking plecos!
+Josh's Aquatics & Railroad Videos Thanks :)
Great video Cory! This one really helped me!
Btw I saw y'all at Nolan's too lol had no clue my testing strips are actually from you XD
What type of food you give in your auto feeding
Can i keep the parents with the fry and complete breeding for another generation in the same tank?
What are you feeding the fry? Assuming just flakes?
I have a pair of blue eyed lemons that breed about once a month at around 6.7ph and 80 degrees
Very helpful vedio .. I know I’m late for the breeding pleco train .. but hey why not
I have a few questions; how often do you change the water and how much when you do? how often are you feeding them and the fry? Can the fry grow with the parents or are they seen as a threat at some point?? great video and thank you.

Mine had just bred in a coconut cave, the male is guarding them should I release the young into the tank or wait for the male to lever the cave?
+Noseyb'stard 8928 you should let the male finish guarding them generally.
I have a male and female about 2 inches big and I added a little cave. At first I saw the female in there and now I see the male in the doorway and he seems to be fanning, but I don't know for sure if there are eggs in there.

This is so cool. How much do you get per fish? And where do you find a place to sell them to?
awesome, i almost won on aquabid once for a pair of red bristlenose ancistrus (german strain) very red. but yeah your pair is nice and good to see a positive progress for those frys. i hope this also applies for my starlights but unfortunately they are more harder and needs different type of settings (blackwater).
+MistahJMix There is a guy in Ferndale up north breeding them in just his tapwater, so maybe you'll get lucky.
Cory, I would like to breed some super reds. I have a heavily planted 20 high with about 100 cherry shrimp in it, do you think I could breed the bristle nose in this tank with the shrimp? thanks
You'll end up crashing one of the two populations in a 20 gallon like that, one will thrive, the other will die off.
is a light needed?
Do they need a heater? And can you breed guppies in the same tank. And also, what about having snails in the tank instead of shrimp?
is it ok to pair wherein the male is bigger than the female?
Does coconut shell class as wood needed for them? Or need wood wood
you mentioned you feed your bristlenose fry good other than what you feed the adults, is this just flake food? I have some plecocaine, of multiple sizes, I have some especially for fry. hiw often should I feed them when they newly hatched? I breed african cichlids but not plecos lol.

Is it at all possible to breed bristlenose successfully in a community tank with tetrad and corys? I was thinking a basic aquascape with eleocharis to help obscure and make safer the caves of the catfish.
Hey Corey how do you get the breeders Do u raise a bunch and pic out a male or female or do you buy them at large size ?????

Is it possible to cross a albino and a brown one?
Hey! How long does it take for a male to form all the bristles on its nose like the one you showed in this video? Thanks!
18 months or so.
I have a normal filter so what should I do
What about water temps? I’ve had a male and female calico together for a month and the male has only gone in his cave once
And plz make more breeding how to vids there great 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Are super red's territorial. ie if you have 1 male and 2 female could they bully and kill one of the females?
Can plants be attached to the coconut shell?
Yep, works awesome
@@AquariumCoop Thank you.
What’s your opinions on breeding Plecos and platies same tank? I don’t want them to eat all the fry but I don’t mind them snacking on them a little
What size of terra cotta pots do you use? Currently have a bristlenose breeding pair that are the brown/black color
Hi Cory, any tips for getting bristlenose in the mood to breed? I have a mature pair that have bred previously but I am having no luck getting them to breed. I feed them algae wafers, cucumber/zucchini
Cold water change normally does the trick. Don't give them to many places to hide.
Could you do a 20 breeding tank with these and shrimp and guppies if it was well planted?
Hi. Is there any particular method to get the fry out of the tank when they leave the cave?
Best food to feed them to condition for breeding?
If I had to pick one. I'd pick repashy. But there are a few and a well rounded diet is best.
+Aquarium Co-Op-protein or veggies? Frozen blood worms and other high quality food?
+Michael's Fish Room i use the community bkend the most for repashy. Frozen bloodworms are good. I like the sera catfish chips as well
Mostly I want them to eat algae, but they'll eat almost anything, algae wafers, flake, green beans etc.
Hi can these plecos mate with other types?
Hey man what’s the best way to make a pair ? I had a big common male and 2 common females in a 3 ft tank with my angel fish for about a year they never bread I have removed the big male and put smaller male and female albino Bristlenoses in with the other 2 big female commons hoping they will breed any tips ? Much appreciated
How much do these sell for? Also, how long do they live?
And can you add multiple couples or will they not get along?
Another helpful video. Thanks!
I just obtained my first bristlenose Plecoptera and have introduced him into my peacock tank. Any recommendations on how to successfully ensure he is obtaining his food? I noticed my peacocks going after the algae wafer I sunk for him.
*pleco
+Alvin Ceja Try green beans from a can, or zuchnini. Algae wafers have a lot of meat in it, that is why the peacocks want it also.
+Aquarium Co-Op will do! Thanks for the tip.
Break the algae tablet in pieces so everyone gets a chance to eat it, I do the same with my tank because I have several fish who eat algae tablets
thanks
Nice video. I have some Compressiceps Fri about .25". Will a 2.5" bristlenose pleco eat them? There's excess food I need to vacuum but don't want to suck(has happened) up fry. Would the pleco eat then since Comp fry sit on the bottom most of the time? Any info would be great.

Can I put a breeding pair in a community tank. Thanks! Great video. My fish are very calm
I've bred them in community of tetras etc before.
can female bristlenose breed with a different type of pleco like a male green phantom or would that not work?
My pleco laid eggs in a community tank I want to separate the eggs so they can survive when I do, do I take the pleco with them or leave the pleco with the eggs I need help???
Few questions, what type of lighting do you have? Also what type of food bedding do you have? Any tips for keeping aquarium plants will be helpful thxs
+Esteban Cervantes I use Finnex stingrays and for food I use repashy gel food. Both available on my website. www.aquaeiumcoop.com
+Esteban Cervantes www.aquariumcoop.com
awesome video..question can u cross bristlenoses..like supper reds to albino long find or any other strain
+Chris Gill Yeah, that is how most of these are made. So long longfin super reds come from crossing super reds and albino longfins.
Wow very interesting..thank you very much..just subbed u few months ago and really glade I did love ur channel..
hey Cory, I want to start breeding fish and I think I will start with Bristlenose Plecos. Is this a good idea for a starter and any good tips?
I'd say it's pretty easy to start with, mostly just do your research first.
How much size goes for a full matured pleco ??
Hey Cory, I have a 50ltr-13gln. Would that be large enough to have a single golden pleco? Only have 4 guppies and some fry currently. First tank!!
+Fraser Hoyland I'm not sure which pleco that is. Do you have an l number?
+Aquarium Co-Op the one im looking at is a colour variation of ancistrus cf. cirrius. I believe some call them L144. The guy said once they are scientifically described they lose their L number.. not sure about that haha. Thanks for replying Cory! Your channel is great!
What do you do once the babies grow up
travel and wildlife um what kind of question is this
Can i put both shrimp and cory cats with the plecos to breed?
What do they look like when breeding?
are males territorial,and do I have good chances for them to breed by putting 4 random sexed bnp in a 100 gal cory breeder tub?
+Sharon Roberts your odds are ok. At 6 youd have a 92% chance to have male and female. Id grow them out first and then put a pair somewhere to spawn them. Im not sure of the math at 4 of them off the top of my head.
Will the different types plecos still breed together?
What do you feed your bristle nose? what exactly do you feed them
Sera Discus Granules. www.aquariumcoop.com/products/sera-discus-granules?variant=21110953604 mostly and then repashy food when I'm not lazy.
Hi Cory, is it possible to breed bristlenoses with 2 males and 2 females in 1 tank? I have 2 females and 1 male at the moment but have another male that I want to add. Any advise?
You can yes, if the tank isn't too small.
Question most videos i see about plecos are bristlenose breeding but what about if species of plecos and how do you determine gender when bristles are not available
if there are no bristles, it's a female.
Can I use a 40 gallon breeder to do this?
What is a good selling size of bn?
Hi Cory. Why do the males fan the eggs?
I've read that it stops the eggs from rotting. I guess water circulation helps.
Great video
+Mr Fish Geek thanks for the support.
How do you clean a hamburg matten filter, I want to set one up but I dont know how to clean it.
Hey, Cory i wonder what kind of food do u give to the fry after they hatch (sorry bad english)
Repashy food or flake food
Aquarium Co-Op Thanks.. but may i know what repashy food and flake food is? Because its my first time hehe....
Is mama supposed to stay with dad the whole time after initial breeding, to eggs hatching and on untill the babies leave the tank? Also at what age are they good to leave the parent(s)?
+Emily Reynolds the dad takes care of them the whole time. They can leave the parent a few days after hatching but can be difficult to catch so moving the parentsbis best if you wanted to do that option.
+Aquarium Co-Op Awesome, so they could be in their own tank with other fish breeds pretty quick then. Thank you for being so quick to respond!
