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

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.
