| The Bristlenoses are hatching!
 I looked in the breeding cone today and got these shots. 
You can see tiny little tails coming out of the yolk sacks. |

| Allie what do the breeding cones look like and where did you get them? A friend makes ceramic caves and those are what I use but the cones sound interesting.

| Here the progress so far. In person you can see the plecos attached to the yolk sack, little wiggling plecos.  I guess they eat their way out for a bit before we have to feed them.
Here's one pf the sites I have read about bns http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/7130/martic10.htm | |

Carol | It's actually a breeding cone for angelfish or discus. I got it from FishNFry when I bought some angelfish off of her last year. I looked at the shape of it and said put it on it side and the bns may like it. Ta da!!  | |

| Yes aren't they cute! If they get over on their tummys they will rock LOL.
Now in about three days they will be ready for a nice juicy piece of zucchinni or an algae covered rock.

| How many babies do they usually have at once? I counted 11 that unhatched before I went to bed. 3 swam off on their own. So cute! | |

I have to separate my male/female as all they wanna do is breed and breed and breed. | |
