Hi Steve and welcome to plecoplanet.
Young Bn wont need caves as such but will want some hidey holes so they can retreat away and feel secure

:hi: Steve, :welcome: to plecoplanet. Congrats on the purchase of the BN's, they're cool fish. As far as feeding them goes, have you tried vegetables on em' yet? Take a cuccumber or zucchini and quarter it, weight it down be sticking a stainless steel fork or spoon thru it and put it in your tank. Every Bristlenose I have or had has loved veggies. They might not know its food right away but be patient and they will start munching away soon. Put it in at night and remove any un-eaten pieces in the morning so it doesn't foul your water.
