The Bristlenose Pleco (Ancistrus cirrhosus) is a popular, hard-working freshwater bottom-dweller widely celebrated for its gentle disposition and exceptional appetite for aquarium algae.

Short Description & Highlights

Growing to a manageable adult length of 4 to 6 inches (10 to 15 cm), the Bristlenose Pleco stays much smaller than common plecos, making it an ideal choice for standard home aquariums. Recognized by their flattened bodies, suction-cup mouths, and the fleshy, branching tentacles that develop on the heads of mature males, these peaceful loricariids add both unique character and practical maintenance assistance to community setups.
