marklealea Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 I have just breed Albino Longfin Bristlenose. The babies are so tiny and there are so many of them. I am counting there is about 60 babies at the moment. Hopefully they survive all ok. This is a first for me I have found another love besides my L134 these Longfins are so graceful and really are an amazing pleco to watch. Has anyone else breed these and what do they feed there babies. lealea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bestfish Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 hi leanne, i bred these little guys and am just about to sell the fry. i feed them cucumber and the sera viformo. they also love squash too. pretty much the same as other bn and L numbers.

marklealea Posted June 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 Thanks. I have been feeding them that as I love the viformo food. They are just so much smaller than any other L number I have ever brred before. They are nearly half the size but there is alot more of them which I think is the reason why. Do they grow quickly? How big are yours and what age? lealea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bestfish Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 they are about 4cm including tail. they are around 4 months maybe a week or two less. they have started growing quicker due to a bigger tank but i did notice a higher mortality rate over other bristlenose types.

smiley Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 yeah albino longfins tend to be a bit more fragile than std or albino bnoses feed em the same as your baby L and theyll do fantastic peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marklealea Posted June 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 Thanks guys . That is pretty quick growing which is good my other L numbers take more months then that to get to that size. I have them in a fry saver now as they are so finy and still have egg sacs on. So they have a while to go yet. lealea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
