80 degrees Fahrenheit, 38 gallon hex with lots of hideouts too, fed flake, gave them a cave, pH about 7.5.

And when is the fish of the month happening again

I have no clue

 

[Benji k]

Do

I have no clue

I thought the bristlenose like folder water to bread

But do you think that will affect the guppy’s

Do you mean if 20°C is a good temperature to guppies? They will do fine at those temperatures. Guppies of mine that have been kept outdoors have even been doing good at lower temperatures. Indoors I'm also keeping guppies at lower till moderate rates. They'll do fine...

Planetcatfish lists 185 species of Ancistrus in their database. I can assure you that they do not all live in the same temperatures or parameters.

I have merged two threads asking about the best temperature to breed bristlenoses and the replies are mixed up together which is why they read a bit out of sequence.

that is interesting. BTW the reason my tank is at 80 for several months out of the year is that I can't get my house much below 79 for several months out of the year. I don't have to heat my tanks except in winter. But I have albino bristlenose and it doesn't seem to bother them.

IMO BN's breed when ready in all kinds of temperatures and when they haves started won't stop.

I had to move my female to another tank

Thanks I’ll turn it down

I've got bristlenoses breeding at 20°C without any problems.

yeah, i turned the temperature down and just saw the female trying to squeeze in the male's cave.
