| Woke up this morning to find my male had died during the night, there had been no signs of any problems and his last batch of fry are only a couple of weeks old.  I'd had him since he was an inch long and he will be greatly missed, I do have four of his sons from his first batch so he will never be forgotton   Not a great photo as he was always wary of people approaching the tank. |

I'd had him about 4 years and but I've had my females for about 6 so I thought he had years in him yet. |

| damn man, sorry to hear that man. funny how they just decide enough is enough one day. My first bristlenose did that. 7 years old, still going strong then suddenly the long night sleep.
