Sorry they're attached, I don't have anymore room in my photobucket.

As most of you know, I own & breed 2 pairs of Dwarf Albino Bristlenose/Bushynose plecos. They spawn as often as guppies!

We just got a fresh clutch this morning! (There are about 50! ) here are some pics of the little ones, and some pics of the week-old plecos.

A flock of 4 newborns...

another pic of the "gang" (lol, you can see some plecos in the background too)

Here is a comparison of about how small the newborns are.... sorry the pictures are so crummy, they are so small that the camera can hardly focus on them!!

(The dad is about the size of my whole finger, by the way!)

Omg They are so tiny!! I've never seen newborn Plecos

here is the dad, "Simon", with the eggs before they hatched, in the coconut hut. The male stays with the eggs after they are laid, fanning them and cleaning them until they hatch. Talk about a devoted dad!

Cool! They are SO small! I'm going to look around here for that particular species once I get a bigger tank and move Fin. I still want a pleco to put in with Tank, my betta. These stay pretty small, correct?

Aww, they are so cute! I would love to get a bushy nose pleco if I ever get a community tank. But so far, that doesn't look like its going to happen. My mom says our house is filled to capacity.

Wow, I've never seen plecos before!! They are sure small and cute!!

[green_chameleon_girl]

aw those are so cute!! We had one that was like the size of my hand!!!(length) It was pretty cute!!We got it from our old neighbors who had a fire and I dont veen remember how long it lived after, quite a long time, but when I was getting Rex, we needed the big tank, so we had to super dooper clean it and give the fish away to my aunt..but sadly the pleco was the first to pass away, Maybe he was just stressed

anyways
Those pics are amazing!
