Quick advice!
Got a bristlenose and holding for somebody (you know who you are). Acclimating to temperature at the moment, which tank, one third compartment in the betta tank with gravel and plants OR 5g empty empty tank? Quick advice needed thanks x

Re: Quick advice!
aslong as there are both cycled any, gravel may not be to good, it might eat it accidentley, so the empty 5g.

Re: Quick advice!
well, yeah i sppose, but it would be fab if you can give it a cave or something, even like a plastic bottle cut like a cave, oh n if you have a spawning mop, you can add that.

I had a common, " grows really slowly" my LFS said. Pffttt...i gave him back, way too messy for my 65l community.

Re: Quick advice!
that's a true albino bristlenose, female as no bristles.
They won't eat gravel, they aint that supid. That's a very good albino bristlenose.

Re: Quick advice!
No problem I don't plan on breeding and they are in seperate tanks so sex doesn't matter. Just can't believe I'm finally going to have albinos!!!!!!
