Does anyone know at what age a bristle nose reaches sexual maturity? (Seriously) I have guppies and I know they only have to be a few months old but am unsure of bn plecs. Please advise...

i think they have to be at least 4-5 inches then they can breed its rare that it happens but if it does nice work!

Really? I heard that the bristle noses were very easy to breed, unlike other plecs. They only get 5-6" at the max anyway. I did hear though that regular plecos are harder to breed. I'll keep hoping for the best!

My BN's started breeding when the femail was about 2in and my male was 3in. Now they are 3in and 4in long and looked to have stopped growing or def. slowed down.
