all day sat the new female longfin has been going in to the male for the last 2 days and this morning we found longfin eggs dad longfin mum longfin theres not many eggs but i dont care because i have longfin bristlenose eggs from my group of longfins theres only longfins in this tank

i am so happy i am going to take out the wife and kids for dinner


heres couple pics of cave and dad and some eggs

Cool fotos seanie112, that would be a sight to see- that long fin males fins while he is trying to fan
eggs.
Cheers J

he does a good job for me really looks after them
this is the first time he breed with the longfins females

before he breed with the commons for the last 5times but i have taken out the commons and now have them in my 6.5ft divided x3 tank with trio in each divider plus have a 4ft divided in to two with a trio either side all breeding we have around 300 common fry 1-4wks old and have 400 longfin /common fry 1-6wks old plus have more eggs around 200 common bns i think

as i have 4 brown trio's and one pair of golds bristlenose commons and 9xfemales longfins and 2x male longfins in one tank

Sweet jebus thats a lot of baby bristlies seanie112, you should have the market cornered in your part
of the world, especially with long fins .
