Re: Bristle Nose Fry

Raul put some sliced green beans in a bottle and sink it next to the rock. (attach a rope to it)
Turn the lights off, wait 10 minutes then pull the bottle without turning the lights on. It works in my tanks and is a lot easier than trying to net them.

Hmmm....what about all 25 of my Tropheus Livua?  Won't they nibble on the green beans?

Re: Bristle Nose Fry

put the greenbeans in a bottle with a small opening. That way only the BN can get in, or are the trophs small?

Re: Bristle Nose Fry

yeah thats awesome, and at some point if they kep breeding you are gonna have to share. especially with some of us with like a whole lot of tanks. cus the shortfin ones go better with my tangs, the cichlids pick on the long fin ones.

Re: Bristle Nose Fry

Gee, maybe I should go look and see what my BN's are doing.  I don't even remember how many I have anymore  8O .  They're in angelfish fry tanks for the most part so any BN fry really wouldn't have much of a chance.  I do have some of brown, regular finned male bn's  that need to go somewhere, maybe the next auction.  I probably won't be giving up any of my albinos though.  They are busy and hungry little guys.  I brought home five more albino bn's, about one and a half inches each from FOTAS.  I put one in a 10 gallon, bare bottom where the bottom was completely covered in algae and the little guy has it almost completely cleaned of algae in about three days.
