Video: My Ancistrus sp. cf. Cirrhosus (Brown Bristlenose) juveniles at the all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet!

Here's a 3min 30sec video of my Ancistrus sp. cf. Cirrhosus (i.e. Brown Bristlenose Plecos) juveniles eating New Life Spectrum H20 Stable Wafers.

I have one male and five females in a 20-gallon species aquarium with two pieces of driftwood, some Hornwort and Java Moss for plants. Filtration consists of one Regent AquaTech 170 gallons per hour PowerHead with HydroSponge #5 for mechanical filter. The water is neutral if not slightly alkaline, and I do not add any water treatments or chemical additives.

I have had two spawns in the month or so since the male was introduced to his harem. I have made no efforts to "save" fry, and although I have seen a few casualties, it appears there is well over 100 juveniles growing out!

Please view my video below (hosted on YouTube). It was shot on July 3, 2009, in 640×480 resolution at 30 frames per second, using a point-and-shoot digital photo camera. It's not HD, but it's not bad, either.
