Bristlenose getting ready to spawn (video)

[Betty]

I've noticed that some of my females look a little beat up from time to time and figured it was the male doing it, but had never seen it before.  
Nothing fancy, just a plain video of them before they spawned.

I don't know how the two of them can fit inside that breeding log.

Wow that male has a huge amount of facial growth! Very cool, to be able to see the pre-spawn behavior. Thanks for sharing the video.

Thats awesome Betty. My black eyed yellow BN are on their 3rd batch, they just hatched Tuesday

Wow! His bristles are huge! Very cool to watch this so I know what to expect!

 

[Betty]

I've wondered if the bristles ever stop growing!  I've had this male for at least...  :scratch:  seven years and he was already good-sized when I got him, although his bristles weren't nearly as developed back then.

Madness, that's great that they've figured out the spawning.

The female is twice his size.

No I was referring to mine. My male is half as big as my female.
