Bristle nose plecos are some of the easiest to breed. They do get territorial and do use a cave type thing usually but not always. There is a few people locally that always seems to have some very reasonable. The one guy had to actually separate the male and female he had over 700 fry to get rid of. His bred in a tank with angels so it is possible in a community tank. I remember reading or hearing there is an easy way to tell a male from a female bristle nose early one has a red mark on its head I am not for sure if it the male or female.
