My two bristlenose plecs have been busy making babies – well, they have been practicing a lot and the eggs have failed to survive. (See here)
On Tuesday evening, I was sitting at the computer and I happened to glance over to the fish tank where I saw something unexpected. On top of the “beehive” was a tiny fish! On closer inspection, I discovered, to my amazement, that it was a bristlenose plec. Obviously, “Daddy” plec has mastered the care of his eggs and one has survived. Baby plec has been (temporarily) named Snorlax by DS.
Further investigation revealed another batch of eggs underneath the bog wood, being well guarded by “Daddy” plec. I wonder if Snorlax will soon be joined by other baby plecs.
As soon as I can get a picture of Snorlax, I will post it on here for you all to see. He is currently 1cm long and very camera shy!! I hope (fingers crossed) that he survives.
