Bristlenose pleco kicked eggs
Posted: 23 Sep 2016, 04:50
So 4 days ago I came back from my local fish shop early in the morning and to
My surprise found my albino female and albino male bristlenose had laid eggs. They laid the eggs in 1 1/2in pvc pipe that last about 8 inches long. And so after being all excited I checked on them tonight only to find they had been kicked out of the cave. Most covered in fungus and most were white in color. Some were yellow but covered in fungus as well. So I'm just curious as to why this is? My guess is some were infertile and they spoiled the bunch? Tank temp is at about 79 degrees and I just checked water parameters and everything was normal. The only new thing I added since I saw eggs was a couple plants and ghost shrimp. Tank inhabitants are the male and female another albino longfin female who I don't think is of age yet for breeding ghost shrimp and a peacock eel and 2 nerite snails. And it's 30 gallon tank.
Sorry for such a long story here. But just want to try not to miss anything. Maybe though the male is still new to this though I don't know. I did find a dead ghost shrimp as well but I don't think that's related though but I don't know.
