Description
There are many species of catfishes in the family Loricariidae, and several have become prominent within the aquarium hobby. The popularity of the Bristlenose Pleco is is attributed to the fact that they stay small compared to other common catfish, such as the common pleco (Pterygoplichthys pardalis), which can grow to 18-20 inches in length. The bristle nose pleco usually reaches only five inches in length.
Having a diet of vegetation makes plecos an ideal aquarium addition. They are terrific tank cleaners who will "vacuum" the substrate on a daily basis. As peaceful and sociable fish, plecos fit into community tanks nicely. The Bristlenose Pleco is not only an easy fish to care for; it's also unique in appearance and fun to watch.
