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 KZread Guy Fish breeder and all around swell dude are supposed to answer every single question which was already answered, keep on keeping on

Very helpful vedio .. I know I’m late for the breeding pleco train .. but hey why not

Mine had over 500 babies :D I was so happy I was like 8-10 years old

Is there a certain temperature range that will assist in getting them to breed?

How do you clean a hamburg matten filter, I want to set one up but I dont know how to clean it.

Hi, we have a filter that hangs on the back of our tank, but we'd like to try to breed our plecos. Do you think we can just add a sponge over our filter's intake tube to protect the fry? Thanks!

Thank you I’m getting brittle noses soon and I am going to try and breed them after at least 3 or 2 years

Hi. Is there any particular method to get the fry out of the tank when they leave the cave?

Hi can these plecos mate with other types?

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?

What size of terra cotta pots do you use? Currently have a bristlenose breeding pair that are the brown/black color

thanks

Edit: I have a pair of albino bristelnose plecos and I have had them for around 2 months I have given them a cave but they don't seem interested in it at all I have a mountain type decor that they sit in but it has alot of holes, any advice on what to do they were in a 2ft but I have moved them into a 3ft around 1 month into owning them I have guppies,a peppered cory,rasboras, a fish that changes the coloue of it's head if it's happy and some fish that are yellow with red fin s I have a tank setup but I need to know whether or not they would breed with my fish or must I move them into the spare tank ?

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

Would 4 breeding super red bin plecos be okay in a 20 gallon?

I have a 36 gallon bow front tank is it ok to have the babys and the 1 and 2 female plecos in there at the same time

What type of food you give in your auto feeding

Does coconut shell class as wood needed for them? Or need wood wood

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.

What is a good selling size of bn?

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 ?????

Hi, if i keeping my male and female bristlenose pleco together they can breed?

What temperature do you keep them at?

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?

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).

can female bristlenose breed with a different type of pleco like a male green phantom or would that not work?

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.

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

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.

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?

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 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?

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???

Is it possible to cross a albino and a brown one?

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?

I have a normal filter so what should I do

What do you feed them?

is a light needed?

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

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.

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?

how can you induce breeding in BN 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

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?

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 ?
