BoilingPoint Posted November 16, 2013 Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 Has anyone else who keeps more than one male Common Bristlenose to a tank ever noticed that one male has longer bristles than the others? I've got 2 males and 2 females in one tank, and surprisingly the larger of the males (Who is a stripy combination of light and dark brown) has smaller bristles than the smaller (Almost black) male who has been the clear Alpha male. Just wondering if this is a common occurrence? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
