I just got my first ever baby today, he’s in my community tank and quickly becoming my favorite. My daughter named the little guy Pickle :)

Awesome video! Really educational 😄
Everyone who is plannjng on getting one should see this.
I've had mine since August 2020, it's a male called Herb😂

Good vid! One thing to mention is that if another fish, normally a cory, enters a dominant males cave, it can result in that fish being trapped and die! I've had this happen once in 4 years of breeding! Rare, but can happen! Also, I keep 3 males and 2 females in a well established community tank (260L) all the babies stay in the tank until they big enough to sell to pet shop! I've had over 100 for 2-3 mths, no problems with fighting or water conditions! But I do have plenty of filtration!

My Pleco died today and I was hoping to restart and learn from what I done wrong but this time I want to breed hopefully this vid will help 😢

Thank you for yet another well-made and informative video! I just got my first bristlenose pleco and I'm so glad to know I'm doing everything right. The tank is a 29 gallon and well seasoned (1 full year), and there is a great big piece of driftwood that the pleco is already hangin out on. Plus, lots of places to hide and friendly community neighbors. I am used to giving my Cherry Shrimp zucchini, and now I know the pleco will enjoy it too!
