Marble longfin bristlenoses bred

[kfenk]

7 months ago I purchased 2 lots of small marble longfins. 4 from a breeder in Adelaide and 3 from a breeder in Sydney. in the last month the 3 biggest have started showing signs of maturity with 2 girls getting nice and gravid and a male caving and showing nice developed bristles. Last night I noticed the male on eggs and I'm stoked as iv never really seen them in Adelaide and I'd like to get more of them out there

Nice pic.
Great looking fins on him too.
Is there any other fish in the tank other than BN's?
If there is, just watch they dont attack the fins of the fry.
