What temperature for breeding tank
- Thread starter Benji k
- Start date
It’s a nice temp , I usually keep tanks at 26-28 . Although your in the higher side for both fish I’d just maintain the temp as it’s within there parameters , you can try lowering the temp a few degrees as guppy and Bn can live in cooler waters
The bristlenose haven’t been breeding do you think I should put the temperature down to 22 degrees to try to temp them to breed.
Temperature isn't your issue. Ancistrus should breed at 24. Can you describe or show pictures of your caves and of the decor for them? What is your ratio - one male, one female? What foods?

nd you can see all the bristlenose in that photo of them eating the zucchini 1 adult male 1 adult female 2 juvenile longfin 2 baby short fin
You could try knocking out a small door in a flower pot, and sanding the edges. For some odd reason mine would never spawn in tube shapes, and only in pots with one end closed.
And I do have a coconut cave in ther and will the pot spread anything in the water
Red clay pots were fine here. Coconut caves are too small. They need space. The pot should be wide enough at the top so the male can stretch out as he guards the eggs above his head. Others have other experiences - that's just a trick that worked here. They wouldn't spawn in a structure that had two entrances.
Do you have any photos of the pot caves
I've got bristlenoses breeding at 20°C without any problems.
But do you think that will affect the guppy’s

your Guppy's should be fine between 20 and 24 Celsius, 68f-74f
Ok thanks I’ll change it to 22
