Have a Adult female Red Bristlenose, found her under / behind my intake (course) pre filter - guess male chased her... thought dead as she floated lifeless, when released, but still had colour and had seen her 10-15 mins before, a few sweeps by hand, up and down tank, shes slowly came back to life ...

still growing on ..... have 15 to 20 approx and they really grow slow...

I think 20-40 is a normal amount, but have heard as little as 10 it quite common, my pair are fully grown and due to being kept until 4 weeks ago with a dominant super red BN pair (now removed and sold) they had never raised any fry before although i'm sure we had eggs at least once before.
