use the search function, more info on breeding the bristlenose on here than any other source on the net.

start with curby's breeding guide Smile

Or my book Very Happy

both will help you out.

it takes time mate sometimes alot longer than 4 weeks....and the fighting issue will eventually dissapear, there just testing each other out...
when my wild L182's spawned they nearly killed each other i was worried but its all part of the process....just like Kamodo Dragons do when they attempt to breed....
