| Are female BN worth more than males, just wondered since so many people seem to be wanting to breed them lately? |

| typically no. But females seem to be more sensitive than the males. I know most of the breeders i know always have an excess of males. I know i did for ages til Karl came to my rescue!
Sometimes you will find breeders desperate for more female will pay more for them. _________________ Doug's Bristlenose eBook - The number one source of Bristlenose information and the most detailed breeding guide avaliable

| i would say you will get a little more for female's than male's. i sell sexed pairs for £15 and males for £7.50 each females i get £10 for.
i dontreally have any females i call spare. i have loads of spare males at all times.
these arnt used for breeding as i have breeding groups not pairs or trio's so dont need many males.
im also very selective which males i use for breeding. i am with the females to a degree but not as much as i am with the male.

would say it depends on what sex you already have - in my case I sold a tank and pretty sure my female brown went in the bogwood with it! So to me at the moment, females are worth more to me for browns. Having said that, I have all female L144's so a male of those is worth more to me! This is obviously from the point of trying to breed them  |
