Bristlenose Plecos

I'd much rather vacuum up good clean poo than rotted food.  The bristlenose eat everything.  I have adults in my tanks that never get the first vegggie.  They are strong and healthy.  They survive on left over fish food and the slime on the sides of the tanks.  Most importantly, they don't attach to the sides of the Discus to feast of their slime coat.  Other Plecos will do that. 

I'm treating my and Boozer's babies more tenderly.  Cucumber yesterday, Kale today.  I can't wait until they're big enough to transfer to my other tanks.  I'm afraid that if I do it now they will be stupid and allow me to suck them up during WC.
Always move forward. Never look back.

They're not the fastest growers, but worth the wait. BN's are such wonderful little scavengers...

I have a few more BN fry , if anyone's interested. They ship better than angels in cold/cooler weather.

Do you want to try and send some this way and see what happens?  Would be a great test run? This summer I want to swap you some Koi and start working our lines in together.  Also want so of the plat marbles from you....   Get something different going in our f/r.  Right now we are working on our 2nd generation.  Feel good to have kids raising babies...

No tanks or fish just good friends and allot of fun...
