Hi peoples, signed up a long time ago but thought it was about time i introduced myself.
Name: Anthony
Age 30 something
Tanks 13 and increasing hopefully.
Ive had one trio of bristlenose for about 3 years now they are real set of porn stars doing it all the time. Had last summer went on holiday and had 4x40+c days in a row and lost a lot of fry-sub adults. Since then ive been building my numbers back up. Have about 1000 commons at the moment selling a few here and there. Still only the orginal trio. Recently bought into some peppermints and had a few spawns being eaten. Have split them up and have 3 pairs and a few extra females im trying to fatten up. One sitting on eggs right now so hopefully starting a new era for myself. Only just bought a house and have finally set up my fish room.
Here are some pics.
