Sometimes you get a pair like that. If you can't sell them to a local fish shop then you'll need to separate the parents to stop them breeding.

Hi, welcome to the forum. :)

Why are you doing so many water changes? How big is the tank and what filter does it have?
I don't keep fish, I keep water. Water keeps fish.

A local shop will take them, I doubt they'll give you money/credit for Bristlenoses but worth asking.

There is a buy/sell section on the forum as well, worth sticking them on there for sell or rehoming with your location.

Welcome to the forum. :)
Bristlenoses are like that, a lot of places (including Maidenhead Aquatics) will take them, some may even give you credit.
If at first you don't succeed....
...get someone else to do it! :D

Enjoy your fish, shrimps and snails!

I don't want to sell them I just need to rehome them where ever is possible I really don't know how to go about this ..that never happened to me before and I had fish thanks for years..... I had to remove the few fishes I had I'd this tank. Because its absolutely crowded with bristle. And reason I keep changing the water is because first is clouded second the pump is absolutely full with dirt of the tank . I'm really lost here with this situation ...the few shops here won't take them because of the regulations.

Try some of the smaller shops near you as they will most likely take them off you.
