[Ancistrus]
+++
Unfortunately, the important things happens in the dark, but at 2:34 the footage will be a bit brighter.
This is another video of my fully grown adult Bristlenose plecs. My biggest one (14cm (5.5inch)) long, mating with my biggest female. You can see how my female enters the cave and how she leaves it at the end.

  • well i bout a breeding pair of albinos. ive fattend them up and moved them to the 10 gallon. now its a matter of time befor they have fry. but will my small canister filter suck up the fry?

  • @jetmea

    The fry leave their cave not before they are about 1cm long. As you can see in my other video: "The raising of my bristlenose fry / Antennenwelsbabys [4/4] " or /watch?v=twh8TzoykZc . If you want to make sure that they cannot get sucked in you can put a nylon stockings of the inlet.

    I had two 54 liter (14 us gallon) tanks, with a pair of bristlenose each. One pair breed once a month the other pair never did it.^^

  • how do u take the eggs from the cave..?

  • @jetmea

    You can move such caves very good to a new tank. You need a flat glass dish. Then you sink it in the tank. Then you can move the whole cave with the father and his eggs into it. Now you take out the dish which is now filled with water and move it to a new tank. So the cave never reach the watersurface. Important: The eggs need their father which is hatching them.
