How to use the Breeders Log

Welcome all the the newest forum on BRISTLENOSE WORLD!!

This is a spot where you can share with us all your success in breeding

When you do mention your success please let us know who you did it? How you triggered the spawn, what the water parameters are, size of the tank, cave etc.

All of these details will help other people who are wanting to breed their fish and be just as successful as you

And might I just add, to all those who post in here...a hearty CONGRADULATIONS!!!

Good idea Doug! (Although I cannot recall one tiny bad idea from you. )

It makes me wonder, if there is a chance to put together a sort of checklist, or formula.
Using that form, even individual users could keep record of their spawns and store them, like the pictures uploaded.

What do you think?

Curby, Jim, do you think the idea is worth a try?

Hey Doug is it worth working out a template for breeding logs?

Hells yeah, I love templates

I'll get on it asap!

I'm currently working like a dog but when i find a few seconds to run together i'll smash one up

Sweet

Any info yet. Anyone have a link to were to find good relible makers of breeder logs. I heard the manufactures of zigzag anyone heard of them or got contact info for them. Cheers Hus.

I make my own breeders log or cave out of PVC 2 1/2 INCH PIPE all you do is silcone something over one end of it and silcone something to the btm of it to keep it from rolling around. i will post a pic of one i made as soon as i figure out how to post it. my BN seem to love these caves i make and they are alot cheaper then any you can buy and they are real easy to make anyone can do it.

In my tank I have a piece of PVC I just stacked some larger rocks over it to stop it from rolling, then I had a plastic hollowed out stump decoration and my albinos use that over the PVC everytime but I know PVC does work well I knew a guy that is all he ever used.

i have used just about all the diff. kinds of caves you can buy for breeding plecos even the clay ones but all my bristle nose like the pvc tubes i make over everything else. i keep at least 2 tubes in every tank and some times they switch it around and use a diff. tube from the time before. the way i make my tubes i figure i have less then 2 bucks in them

Hey up,,,

I think a few of you are getting confused here..

The Breeders Log is a place to post your successful spawns...

Its not a Log or a pipe were your Bn's spawn in?

Lets keep to topic guy's/girl's...

Hiya,Ive just joined bristlenose world and been going through your information I am finding it interesting, I have just become a daddy of 176 bristlenoses 160 of them albino,s the others are commons,for the albinos its there second family both times laid there eggs in a small misshaped terracotta cave first lot was a dozen never expected this lot second time around my commons were laid in a section of bogwood good job Ive got a number of tanks I can move them around in. I am a novice only been keeping fish for 2 years and they have taken over so I will probably be back pumping for information.
