Bristlenose pleco spawn. Common M x Super red F

Post by Chazzalad18 »

Hello guys!
Here I have a spawn from two of my bristlenose plecos.
The tank is 125L or 33gal.
Ph 7
Ammonia nitrite and nitrate is on 0.
Temperature: 27c
The tank had only been setup for about two weeks with a 2year mature filter.
The pair had nowhere to breed and he couldn't trap her in a open ended tube so I put in a terracotta cave and he was instantly In it.
So she followed and he allowed her in the evening after and she layed as I couldn't understand why the male wasn't out when feeding.

Photos and dates will be added.

P.s I'm new to this so could use help on using this site
