Introducing New Fish
Bristlenose Catfish Common
Also known as Bristlenose Pleco but not actually a plecostomus. Available in a range of colour and fin-type variations. Identifiable by short "whiskers" around the mouth and nose.
In nature, Bristlenose Plecos are herbivores, eating mainly algae, so feeding algae or spirulina wafers once or twice daily is best. Granules, flakes, or bloodworm are also good.
