Have the babies ot white edging on their dorsal fins?
From the pic, they look like Bristlenose catfish.
Can you get a pic of them from above or the side?

They're bristlenoses not common plecs

 

[stang1]

The babies look like they have white edging on their fins, which leads me to think they are BN. They are also one of the more commonly bred Plecs around so I am almost certain that's what you have.
I know how difficult it is taking photos, they all seem so camera shy!

hi again no white edging on dorsal fin 1 has but the rest are a tan colour but cannot see them all.
i can tell you that the larger ones have spikes on the side if that helps ??

The pictures clearly show they are bristlenose plecs,
and at any rate young and female bristlenoses don't have bristles

 

[stang1]

Females don't usually develop bristles, although some can grow a few around their mouths.
Common Plec babies don't usually have the white edging on their fins and as far as I know, no-one has bred them in a tank of that size.
Does your Bristlenose have bristles?
