[Kevstir]

Hi Guys first time iv posted in this section

I picked up this little fella today , the lfs just said it was a bristlenose but as you can see by its colours its different, iv never seen one like this before does anyone know what kind of bristlenose it is?? i paid £11.99 for him, was that a good price??

sorry about the pic quality, i took them with my phone which is better at macro shots than my proper camera lol

11.99 is alot for a baby bristlenose you can get a breeding pair for that they are abot 2 pound for a baby

£11.99 is not a lot for an L183. If you know where to get them cheaper let me know.

What a lovely find Kevstir at a great price

Uh not a breeding pair of L183's you won't. Actually I'd love to know where you can find any type of (adult obviously) bristlenose breeding pair for £11.99

Hows your bristlenose doing?

Thats not a Bristlenose. I think it may be a blue seam and or L183. Looks about 2"? The guy at the pet shop doesnt know his fish all too well if he thinks thats a bristlenose.
