NB: OWNER ON MATERNITY LEAVE! RESUMING BUSINESS AS USUAL IN FEBRUARY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT! WE WILL SEND PLECO POPS FISH FOOD OUT NOVEMBER ONWARDS IF MUM AND BABY ARE DOING WELL!
Before placing an order please make sure you have read our Delivery, Terms of Service and DOA/Guarantee.
Sub Adults 7-8cm+ (we have had a successful spawn from two we separated out from these so they are breeding size just not jumbo)
We cannot 100% guarantee gender at this stage but it looks like we have 1 male 4 females
Max Adult Size:10 - 16cm (3.9 - 6”) these tend to get quite chunky and males very bushy noses.
Temperature Range:21 – 28 C
PH Range:6.5 – 7.5
Does better in medium to soft water.
Diet:Grazes on the biofilm and algae around the aquarium and will benefit from wood and other organic structures. They will however be quite happy to take a variety of prepared foods. As a treat, they enjoy green vegetables like courgette.
We don't recommend feeding them large amounts of protein as their digestive system isn't really equipped to handle it and we often see bloating/"dropsy" issues.
HabitatIdeally fast flowing, however they are hardy to lower oxygen levels and will only really struggle in very still aquariums.
Note:Bristlenoses have very spiky protusions behind their gill plates which they stick out when stressed/fighting. These will get stuck in a net very easily and hurt if they scratch or stab you. Be very cautious while handling.
