pvc pipe cave

iv just brought a peice of pvc pipe with a capped end
is it too big ?






can u guys and girls think of any ways i can maybe make it more inviting for my bristelnnose???

Firstlt what type of bn's are you trying to breed??
How Big are they ???
What dimensions are the pipe?? i cant guess the size.............

I use PVC pipe too, but for bigger size BN, I use a discus breeding cone and instead of sitting up, I lay it down, holding it with 2 clothes peg so it won't roll around. It was a last min thing and I couldn't find anything big enough, cos my friend jus passed me his pair of common BN for breeding when I visited. Anyway, they used the breeding cone and gave me their 1st batch of fry very recently.

yeah, its too big.

They may use it if there is nothing else and you condition them up really well but under normal conditions I would be surprised if they did.

my bristelnose boy seems to hang in there alot .. now .. hes ditched the log

its a nice place to hide sure, but breeding and hiding are different things

I have heard the eggs don't stick to the sides to smouth inside, but ask some one that reall knows

i always file the inside of my pipes doen to make them more rough.....

i also usually block the end partially...

good luck...

Thank you
I have thought of filing in side but for $6 you can buy them
so I bought a two now I have to buy more Bristlenose
as i gave mine away

You gave them away

Cut it in 1/2 lengthways and have 2 caves the right size for breeding them

thats a better option but it is still a bit roomy for them. Longfins might feel more at home in it cut in half for the extra width though.
