hello everybody,

I have 5 peppermint bristlenose ( L183 ) and i would REALLY like to breed them. i was just wondering if anyone knew how to trigger them into sawning? do you have to do a water change or something like that?
they are in a 117L tank ( i think that is 30 gallons? ) with 2 pieces of driftwood. the ph is about 6.8 and i feed them once a day....

Any Replys would be greatly appreciated :D

Ok here is what i have been told..

Put in some blackwater extract in the tank or heaps of wood to make it tanned.maybe increase your filtration and do a water change as much as possible even if its a 10 litre bucket a day
