Description
Longfin Bristlenose Pleco. Longfin Bristlenose Pleco (Ancistrus sp.) Care level: Easy Max Size: 12cm Temp: 23-27°C PH: 5.5-8.0 Approximate purchase size: 2.5-3cm Diet: Omnivore Compatibility: Community The Longfin Bristlenose Catfish is a fantastic alternative to Common Plecos. Growing only to about 12cm in size, they are suitable for most home aquariums, whilst the common pleco will outgrow all but the largest of aquariums. They are a great algae eater, especially as juveniles. The aquariums should have good, strong flow and plenty of oxygenation for this fish. Offer plenty of hiding spaces and shady areas, especially if more than one specimen is to be kept in the same aquarium. The addition of bog wood is essential as the lining on the wood is a very large part of this fish's diet, which they will graze on a regular basis. They don't eat plants, but will attempt to eat algae off them. Tank mates can include most. Source: Shirley Aquatics Tropical Livestock.
