Waggles Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 ..I have a pair of bristlenoses - one male and one female which have been together romantically for over a year. They have their little cave and other rock shelters, hiding places. Can I add another female or two? Or will there be problems over territory and guarding eggs/fry?

cowboymonkey Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 Will be fine as long as they have enough food and the tank size can handle more fish : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waggles Posted December 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 Yes, they can be greedy. They love their algae wafers and shrimp pellets. If I go by the rule of thumb one fish per gallon [4 litres] then there is room for a female or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellows Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 Make sure you 1 or 2 more caves then you need that way they'll have plenty to hide in and shouldn't fight over them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
