| I'd split them. In my experience the females tend to do all the spawning with the dominant male. Others may think different but this is just how they have behaved for me |

Some plecos work better in colonys than others. Bristlenoses generally dont but that said it has never really been tested _________________ Doug's Bristlenose eBook - The number one source of Bristlenose information and the most detailed breeding guide avaliable
