This is a 15 gallon tank with a lot of young breeder bristlenose. There are browns, super reds, albino green dragons, green dragons, and calicos in it. They will be going to new homes at the upcoming swap in Schertz on Jan 11 and in Arlington on March 14. They are 3" or better, there are a few juvenile super reds in here as well.

Green dragon bristlenose that came from the S. polli tank. looks like 3 males, rest females. Set them up as a new breeding colony for now, I already have 2 other groups going. Possibly will sell some of them at the swap in Shertz on Jan 11.

Bought some juvenile L519 bristlenose a year and a half ago. They still are not very large but have been spawning. The male always kicks the eggs out of the cave. Finally got a decent size clutch and got them hatched. Have a few from the last spawn that are growing pretty quickly.

Pulled my Waubenmuster bristlenose from their tank and put them in with the polli cats for my clean up crew. These guys have been trying for me. Haven't gotten a bunch of fry from them. Thought there as a trio left but found a third female and a nice size jevenile. Maybe a new home will get them going.

9 super red bristlenose ladies that came from the tank the S. polli are going in. Their male was in the cave on a pile of eggs so I didn't try to get him out. These girls have mad lots of babies for me.

Moved a super red bristlenose breeding colony from their 40 gallon tank and replaced them with the 12 Synodontis polli white catfish I purchased back in March of 2024. Think these guys are about ready to start breeding, some nice fat females in there. The plecos will go into the tank the catfish came from. They spawn like my petricola do. Neat little catfish, don't get to big.

I have let myself get way to low on S. petricola. Had so many that I just stopped trying to breed them. Of course they then refused to help me out. Finally pulled all the fish from the tank, took all the gravel out and did a 90% water change. Put 2 males and 4 very fat ladies back in the tank with only 1 of the 4 large male bristlenose that had been living with them. Guess what, a ton of eggs that night in the tub of marbles and many more scattered all over the tank bottom. Looks like about 400 hatched. Now if the S. polli White would just cooperate!

I am going to have to retire my favorite net. To many holes, fish keep escaping. We have caught so many fish together. Haven't found a suitable replacement yet, the pocket has been too deep on all of them. I will keep looking though.
