The Great baby bristlenose line up....

Well its been a while since My last updat so as the baby bn did something strange the other night I thought I would share a pic with you. Also I thought I would introduce a new addition to the tank that I added a few weeks ago. I bought 2 tiger bn and after a few days of playing hide and seek i lost them and thought they had died but as you can see one of them poped out to say hi so I decided to include a pic of him also. As you can see ALL of the babies decided to line up across the front of the tank and the one side.....

I thought I would share a few more pics with you. The first 2 show the baby bristlenose queing up to munch on the slice of mellon





And here are a few more showing the mighty fish hord feasting on their food!!!

baby bn update

As you will know if you have been following My blog I had a few troubles with My bristlenose eggs and of the first batch only one servived to hatch and become a baby bn. well its been a month (yesterday) since I found the serviveing and my first bn baby and I thought I would share some pics of how well he/she has grown

Its Update time again!!!

Its update time again!!!!!!!!

Yep I have two new pics of the "kids" they have been in the cave like scaredy fish for a while now but they are slowly getting up the courage to poke their fishy noses out and see wots around. They havent actualy left the cave yet but they are getting close to it. I had tried tempting them out by putting some mango at the entrence to the cave but the dad was being mean and kept moveing it away so he could eat it himself!!! I hope you enjoy these pics

Hi Guys I have a new update for you. The dad was off eating so I decided to check on the babies and do a quick tail count and took a pic. There are roughly between 39 and 42 babies!!!!!!! they tend to wriggle alot so it makes it harder to count but here is a pic for u to see them

yayyy hatchling turned into a fry!!!

well I got up this morning and did my normal check of the tanks makeing sure all the fish were ok and i saw a very small blob with a wriggleing tail on one of the plant leaves eating its very first meal!!!! I was able to take a pic but its kinda blury. the second blob you can see is a small snail. I looked at the other hatchlings and they were still in the cave wriggling their tails like mad so they should be out and about anytime soon now

I will keep you posted

They r wiggleing!!!!

Well I saw that the dad was over the other side of the tank today so I thought I would take a chance and peek at the hatchlings. While I was looking I managed to take a pic and a quick vid I hope you enjoy them
