But by pure accident... :lol:

I have a large driftwood in my tank and the tank always has been busy with many species. I had these bristlenoses for about 9 months now (they were about 1.5 inches when I got them) and one out of 4 turned out to be a male...

About a month ago, for some reason, the male found this little hole near the bottom of the driftwood and wouldn't come out! The hole is barely big enough for him. (I can always see his tail). I thought these guys were getting more shy as they are maturing but about one hour ago, I saw a little orange thing move on the back of the glass (yes all of my bristlenoses are albinos). Wow, I saw one that's about 1cm long. Then I observed another one! So now I have two (hopefully more) babies that I didn't even know I had...

Interesting as I was about to setup their own 15g to spawn them and instead, I had one already in my community tank!

Yeah, they look cute... :D (the babies, not the adults!)
 
The same thing happened to me....I was reading articles onm how to get them to spawn....then my male disappeared....he wouldn't even come out for food....the BF thought he was dead or something....so he nagged me until I let him lift the cave and look under....and we saw about 30 babies (very small....a few still with yolk sacs)...since then they have spawned once more and my female is now in a tank on her own (with electric yellows)

They are SOOOO cute the little babies :wub:
 
I found 3 more yesterday! So now I know there's at least 5 of them. I hope there are more... :D
