Quick Question! Do Bristlenose Plecs Breed All Year Round?!

[Lnbates2000]

Hi,

My bristlenose plecs are still not fully grown, and have started breeding on their own accord.
I had 10 babies in the first batch, and have not got the 2nd batch swimming around my tank, and so far have counted 26!

As I only have 1 tropical tank, I'm wondering whether they will continue breeding every month??

I'm planning on taking the babies to a local fish shop when they are big enough, hopefully for some store credit!

But... by that time I may have even more!

thanks,

Laura

Wow! You must have LOADS of baby plecs then!! Do you take them to your local fish shop? What size?
My first lot are about an inch long I guess, second lot tiny!
