First time breeding= success

I have always loved fish and though id start my tank up again, I wanted only bristlenose's and started looking up the best ways to breed them. thank you very very much to people on this forum whose tips were amazingly helpful

I started with an 80lt tank, 3 breeding caves (terracotta pot bases with grinded out entrances) a few shells and some drift wood, pH set to 6.8 and temp to 26 degrees
I bought 7 peppermint bristlenose fry and them in there for about a week
I then went and bought a female of around 8cm from a local breeder and introduced her to the tank, she started eating well and wasn't too shy
I then added a male of around 10.5cm from another breeder and he was a bit more shy to begin with but also always came out to eat
I feed them 2 pieces of cucumber every night and remove when i wake up.
Then started ( as suggested on here) changing 30% of the water every second day, and then when a storm hit, I changed 50% of the water.
After about 4 days I added water from a friends tank who had breeding birstlenoses, along with 6 of their fry which she did not want
The next day the male and female were hanging out near a shell alot with a hole in the bottom, and ever since the male as not left that hole and only stick his head out every now and then. he is constantly fanning so i assume he has eggs
If they are successful then I shall Post up some photos and things
Cheers again for everyone success stories as it really helped me out!

Thats awsome news mate!

It is not often that people have success with peppermints so early in the game so
