The Bristlenose Pleco (Ancistrus sp.), sometimes called the Bushynose Pleco, is a member of the Loricariidae family of South America. Originally found in the Amazon River basin, the Bristlenose Pleco is a hardy fish that can survive and thrive in a variety of different habitats. It is perhaps the most popular species of Pleco you will find in home aquariums.
Â
These easy to care for tropical freshwater fish are great for aquariums and aquaponic projects. They grow to a maximum size of about 5 inches. They're perfect for aquariums or IBC totes as they do not get too large but keep algae under control and eat left-over fish food. All our Plecos are tank raised in the USA by us.
