Bertie The Bristlenose And His Amazing Bristles

I admit that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and some may not like these fish, fair enough.
But every time I see Bertie I have to tell him that he has amazing bristles, and is a very handsome chap.
He doesn't like having his photo taken, so the best I could do is while he was at the entrance of his cave, watching his cucumber.
Oh, Bertie, those are some impressive bristles. 

He's had the ones on the top of his nose since he matured, but the ones along the bottom/sides have only developed in the past 6 months. 

Amazing bristles!

I sometimes wonder if my Bertie might not be female as his (her?) bristles have never grown more than about 5mm. He also has fewer bristles.

Does your female bn have any bristles at all?

I'm going to say no @Helen though I will check and try to get a pic today.

Hi Harri, , you look lovely; nice to finally "meet" you.
