dermatitis is back in black. lol

Excellent fish. Pity it wasn't in a months time I would be camped on your door.

I threw a few albino shortfin bristlenose babies 2 to 3cm long into my display tank and they cleaned it up overnight. They don't get devoured easily because they are SPIKEY.

I just tried to google Brown Stains? Lol.

Great photos. Welcome. I have been breeding lbino longfin for years ans hvenever seen that colour l.p.

new woooooooorld first - equal responsibility for men and women in fish. You will be a legend.

Wow I didn't know what to reply. Titanium - never rusts? lol

Good rep backed up by action. Purchase delivered from Caboolture to Toowoomba very quickly. Thankl You

I have a 1000 litre IBC which fills with rainwater from shed runoff. I have a 2 inch foam insulated tin roof on it. (helps reduce algae and keeps termperature down/up.) I dont aerate it. The big breeding bristlenose tank loves the algae. The main display tank has its own uv light in the filter and a few spare bristlenose/2 big pleco's. Any temperature changes with water changes are only a couple of dregrees and if anything encorage my bristlenose to breed. I trickle it into the tanks through a hose or add by bucket full and have had no problems. Unless I was going to use the IBC as a fish tank I don't see the need for aeration or water movement?

Report post Welcome from Toowwoomba Qld. (Is Perth in Qld? or does some one wish it was?)

With mixed parents (1 albino + 1 common) the general rule od thumb is that babies are as you see common bristlenose.

Luckily my name is not Ray. I have been drinking the water here for years. lol

L202 Peckoltia lineola . I have one of these still (this is a 2013 photo). Appears the same or similar?

Do you mean Pseudotropheus Pindani. Geo. @ Pseudotropheus socolofi. There is a pindari Dam in NSW. lol

I would be careful as the plastics absorb the chemicals and it will leach back into water. Foodgrade IBC's on gumtree at Rocklea are only $50
