Plenty of caves for them to choose from and leave them too it, u shouldn't have any trouble with normal water conditions, but if you want to be able to remove the fry when born, invest in a breeding cave with a bottom on it so u can take it all out in one and put it in a grow out tank.

Fry can be fed-up using a large aquarium or plastic water vat, and bulk up quickly on food such as cucumbers and lettuce ;)

Hi there

The only thing you really need to do is have some nice caves then drop the temperature a degree or two. Bristlenose catfish (http://www.e-aquarium.com.au/bristlenose_catfish.htm) lay eggs going into Autumn naturally so they like the temperature change to be the same in your fish tank.
