Very nice, have you kept them before? Are they hard to keep? Are they hard to breed? furthermore, how much did you pay? Thanks in advance.

I had a common Bristlenose before that thrived. You need lots of oxygen, some current, dw, a good diet, standard water parameters, I have neutral ph (7.0) and the temp. is 80F. I don't know how difficult to breed they are as I've never tried. If you're interested in a few, get a hold of Kevin Korotev. He's a member here. Great guy to do business with. I bought mine for $8/ea.+ shipping. A book that Kevin recommends is Bristlenoses by Kathy Jinkings.
