Hi Dogginfox, welcome to Planet Catfish.
I just breed my Bristle noses for the first time. I have a breeding group of 5 fish (2 males, 3 females) in their own small breeding tank. I have two caves ( half a coconut shells) for the males and a large clump of java moss in which the females hide in. The tank has no substrate and a good curent across the tank. I conditioned my fish on bloodworms and flake food. I basicly just left them too it and withen a week they had spawed.
Good luck.

Cheers, CatBrat.
