A Bristley Surprise

Posted by Sarah on June 9, 2008

We woke up Saturday to find a nice surprise - about 28 baby bushynose plecos swimming throughout the aquarium.

It seemed like Spike, the male BN pleco is getting a lot better at keeping them in his cave until he wants them out - I think this batch stayed in at least 3 days longer than any of his previous batches, so hopefully we’ll get a great survival rate this time.

We still have two slightly larger plecos from the last batch, and they all seem to be getting along well.

It’s so much fun to see the plecos - they prefer to sit in the seams of the tank, where the water is strongest, so you can see a line of 10 or so pleco’s with their little tails bouncing around.

It’s so cute.
