Hey everyone i have a colony of bristlenose i got from a mate that were breeding like rabbits and now they have all of a sudden given up, i have added a few caves i got from ancestrus and all my male does i s sit outside the cave at the entrance.
I have been doing regular water changes with slightly colder water with no outcome.
