Tropical Fish - How to Breed Bristlenose Plecos - Breeding for Profit

[@JadrenAquatics]

Do you like these videos filmed in the fishroom or in my studio better?

[@chadsadventures]

I like in the fish room better u need to set up a little able in there lol...great info bud can't wait to get them guppys

[@JadrenAquatics]

@@chadsadventures a table!! That's precious tank space lol

[@chadsadventures]

@@JadrenAquatics no get a pop up table from Wal-Mart to use and take down would be nice back ground lol

Jadren Aquatics fish room all the way. Always. We are here to see fish !

Fish room 😊

I’ve actually had success breeding young BN trios in 10 gallons. In an ideal world I’d have a full scale fish warehouse full of 20 breeders, but space is limited for me. With the proper water changes and cleaning, I’ve had no issues doing this. I only keep young BN trios in these those. All other pleco species and BN over 4.5” go in one of my 20s. And fry are removed immediately.

[@kripkethechameleonfriends4505]

Great video bud! I hope all is well, I'm getting a little better and trying to support my friends more and catch up on videos. Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing.

[@JadrenAquatics]

Thanks glad to hear that caught you on the river life video.

[@h2okeeper106]

Another excellent video! Great quality. Love the setup you have rolling :)

[@JadrenAquatics]

Thanks!

[@RexDogDelivers]

We just moved 65 babies from the breeding tank and there is still another 20+ that will get moved Tuesday. What is funny is I saw this video popped up and I was like OK I can still learn I am sure. lol Yea we have Clay caves and Slat caves (we made the slate ones). I just saw how old the video is. Still great info and still appreciated in 2020.

[@sharronmiller451]

Great video. I have young plecos.

Great videos Jadren, kudos....👍👍👍👍. Question is a 20 galon high too small for a pair of bristle nose.? And can I have the front half of the tank sand and the rear with gravel ? Thanks in advance....

Yes that's plenty of room and sand and gravel is fine

What stand are you using to hold your 40 gallon breeders?

[@CalebsAquatics]

Very helpful!

[@caewalker9276]

You're so lucky in America cause the variety of bristle nose are huge compared to Australia. I'd kill for some gold nuggets or zebras.

[@JadrenAquatics]

Is it government regulations that keep your selection down

Well haven't we become quit the breeder awsome job Jason man I'm jealous your tanks look so pretty🤣 I'm happy for you buddy I have a question what you gonna do with so many baby's 😂Keep them all 😉👌🌿☘🍃

[@JadrenAquatics]

No I'll end up selling them I've been shipping stuff here and there and getting comfortable with it

[@reelstanks8473]

maybe i got a great lfs.they have been give me half of what they sale the fish for.i didn't have deal with phone calls from craigslist and having strange people come to my house.i didn''t have to ship fish and worries myself sick about the fish making a safe trip.i don't have a club near me that i know about.so what works for you might not work for everyone but i enjoyed your point of view

[@ethanbissett330]

Can I move the young to another tank while they are feeding off of their yolks or do I have to wait until they are ready to eat other foods?

[@JadrenAquatics]

No you can move them now then start feeding when the yolk is absorbed... Thanks Jason

[@captaingreenbeardscove8304]

Sir, I notice other fish in your tanks. Do you have problems with them the fry?

[@JadrenAquatics]

No there father protects them very well so I've never heard any problems.

[@pelhamsaquatics]

What are the ideal water conditions for bristlenose breeding?

[@JadrenAquatics]

Most anything but optimum 78 degrees and 7.0

[@pelhamsaquatics]

Jadren Aquatics thank you Jason I appreciate it.

[@JadrenAquatics]

[@DreamofThrills]

Do you use filtered water? do you or would you use an ro unit for apistos?

[@paulnerlich6099]

How many eggs are generally laid per spawning and how long until more are spawned?

[@JadrenAquatics]

Depends on size of female I think they can spawn again in a month or so

@@JadrenAquaticsThanks!! Love your videos a bunch! Very friendly, helpful, and informative.

My bristlenose decided to leave the babies for a minute so he can go and beat some snails to take away the wafer they were eating. XD

[@JadrenAquatics]

Lol mine do that too

[@MasterBlek]

@@JadrenAquatics Terrible parents aren't they. XD Now I must think of where to separate them before they hatch so I can sell them after that cause 2 bristlenose plecos in my tank are enough. :D

Thanks!

[@leahmiramontes5070]

Awesome video! Thank you so much!! What’s a local club? Also, any advise/videos you know of in reference to what types of plecos breed with what types of other plecos? / what the stipulation(s) are?

[@juliuswicked4587]

I have a top filter (Venus Aqua U6600). Do the babies possibly get into the inlet?

[@jessicacarrasco4892]

Thank u for ur good vids and information. I was wondering about breeding. At what age do u think there to old to breed? I have ibe for 7 years and shes not breeding is she too old?

[@Passion_Bassin]

How many different kinds of Plecos do you have?

[@JadrenAquatics]

Maybe 12 if you include the different types of bristle noses

[@reneesnugent3358]

Does the father eat the other previous babies if he isn't the father? Or do you remove him from the aqurium after the fry leave the cave ? I had to pull the eggs because he threw the eggs out. I've raised them in a large breeder box. I was also afraid because I've got multiple plecos breeding. I wondered if I should separate some of them? I've got a 40 gallon currently and they started breeding.

[@OlivernMaple]

Hi! I got a new male and female bristlenose pleco and the male is not eating anything! his stomach is flat and empty! Is this normal behaver?

[@slt4840]

YNWA

[@dejand1512]

At what age can I tell difference between male and female?

[@JadrenAquatics]

I think around 8 to 12 months

[@dejand1512]

Thanks

[@tinacuppernell3045]

I cut zucchini into chunks and then freeze them. After they thaw out they are soft.

[@JadrenAquatics]

That's a great idea I'll have to try that thanks!

Are you selling them? How much?

Hey, which according to you is the best plecos to keep in 2024?

[@christinagordon2351]

My Plecos bred in a 10 gallon tank, but they are very friendly and come when you signal to them

[@sushant3196]

If 99% of us guys and gals look like you then where's the question of ugly, moreover define ugly 😊. That was very informative. I got an albino Male(2.5 inches long) here and a couple of fry which came free with him... I don't know if he's the father. However, I've kept the fry (maybe 2 weeks old?) In a different tank. I'd be grateful if you could take some time and answer a few questions I got. Q1. What do I feed the albino if the algae runs out? I tried cucumber, apple bits and brocolli on a tweezer, but he just won't eat neither the fry! Q2. They are nocturnal, but this guy hardly moves away from his driftwood and only comes out at night... is that normal? Q3. I got a lot of brown algae and spot green algae on the walls, but he's not eating them at all, what type of algae do albinos eat? If you got some other tricks and tips, please share. Thanks!

[@FishyMatt0519]

Do you sell/ship your fish?

Hey great video. I have a quick question. I have a L144 male that is breeding with a L045 female. What color will the offspring have? The internet seems to not have the answer to this question. So hopefully you know what I'll get.

It should be pretty random depending on what genes are dominant

Hello! I have a pair of Ancitrus L 144 sexually mature male and female. I want to breed them. My question is, what is the minimum size the aquarium should be to keep only one pair of ancitrus L 144 in it?

[@futuredog1084]

Tell that to my male bristlenose pleco... he has multiple caves available but he chose a pagoda decoration for my smaller fish to breed with the female. Keep in mind ita the only decor that has more then one entrance... it has about 4. Yet all the caves I provided had only one entrance. He's the only male bristlenose pleco in that tank.
