Well, I think it is bristlenose fry “move out of home” day. Either that or “The Great Escape”. This morning I have been watching numerous tiny bristlenoses escaping from the safety of their home to be chased by platies (including platy fry), neon tetras and glolight tetras. Quick little buggers though. The other fish haven’t got a chance. Just like we don’t have a chance of capturing some photos of them.

We did manage to get some photos though…..albeit a bit blurry, but it gives you an idea. They are already sucking the glass and look like miniature carbon copies of their parents. SOOOOO cute. So far about 5 have escaped. Many more to go!!!

Thanks to all who said well done.....but I didn't do anything....just fed them as normal....algae tabs....cucumber, vegies etc.....it was all them....

I had read about ways to make them breed....but I hadn't gotten around to anything yet....like chaging fiter currents, doing things with the temperature etc.

They beat me to it
