But now, I'm totally clueless!!! Should I just leave them in the tank with the other Bristlenose an glo fish .Bristlenose babiies WOW !! :bounce1::lolspin:
 
Congratulations. I found some info for you:

"The male will tirelessly tend the eggs, mouthing and fanning them to keep them constantly aerated. He will fend off any intruders to the fry by either fanning his tail furiously at them or physically chasing them off. During all the time he tends the eggs, he will only leave for the shortest time possible to eat, and will quickly return to the nest as soon as possible. After two days eye spots will begin to show on the amber eggs, and after around five to six days, (depending on tank temperature) the eggs will hatch. It is quite safe to leave the male with the fry, he will continue to be a good father and look after them until, at around a week to ten days after hatching, when they have absorbed their very large egg sacs, they will leave the cave and venture out to look for food.
