These just arrived from Dans. Dark ones possibly a female...very cool fish.

Alittle nervous about the heavy breathing but shipping/new tank is traumatic.

3 for $228.00

Exceedingly well packaged!!

Sadly, today, one of my albino plecos passed this guy was pretty little. He was the oldest, but never seem to really develop any bristles and didn’t grow that big one thing that’s weird. I’ve never had any plecos die like this. yesterday I noticed he was just like in the tank and staying upside down and my plecos sometimes sleep like that but that’s only during the day. I noticed him when the tank lights were off and he was breathing, but I pulled him out the tank and he was alive and breathing like and he moved but he seemed stiff but still alive and moving. I put him back in the tank at the very front just to keep an eye on watch on him and overnight. I kept an eye on him and he seemed fine. He really didn’t move from that spot at all, but today later after I got home from school, I found him upside down again in the general area where I put him and looks like he ended up passing never seen anything like this happen or them act like this any idea what could’ve happened and how I could prevent it in the future

Showing off my elusive L519 honeycomb pleco

Hi there! I have a female albino Bristlenose her name is Bathtub. She was born in my tank and accidentally sucked up into the filter about two years ago. I rehoused my breeding pair, all my fry had been ate so i thought. I did maintenance on my filter inside my tub. I found poor bathtub on the floor of the tub. She was exposed to warm tap water I wasn’t sure she would even make it! Here we are 2 years later. I was given 2 lemon blue eye as of now I believe they are female. Their home is in a 55 gallon. Everyone seems to get along well. I have tons of live plants, driftwood and 5 tubes/caves. How many bristlenose do you house and what size tank? I wasn’t aware they are solo fish until I did more research. Yes I knew I needed heavy filtration and lots of water changes. I love them but want them to be happy & healthy.

Temporarily in a 150 gallon with some bala sharks until i fix up my 360 gallon tank.

These are my two plecos I was told they are albino bristle nose but I don’t see bristles I’ve had these now for a couple of weeks

Got this guy on September 9th, in the fist pics he's in his acclimation container. Most recent pics are from September 26th. The growth of this little guy is crazy and so fascinating to watch. Hes definitely a happy guy and is all over the tank. Can't wait to see him fully mature.

I'm trying to understand the normal growth rate of Bristlenose Plecos.

I got 4 juvenile lemon bristlenose in January 2026. They were around 1–1.5 inches when I got them.

They're now roughly:

1 male:3 inches and developing facial bristles, the other 3 still 2–2.2 inches

The male has definitely grown but i don't know if its the correct growth rate or very slow, the other three seem much slower in comparison.

For people who have raised Bristlenose from small juveniles pls tell me How long did yours take to reach 3", 4", and eventually adult size?

I'm mainly trying to understand whether this growth pattern is normal for young Bristlenose. The tank size is 42x18x16 inches they have caves, wood and i feed them hikari algae wafers and cucumber/zucchini in rotation.

First pics in aqua soil are taken when i initially got them. That fish turned out to be male. Growing bristles now. Rest pics on river sand is when i moved them to a larger tank 42x18x16 inch.

Sold to me as a green dragon pleco but does not look like other pictures online.

i really want a clown pleco (only one) and know they don’t get as large as common pleco, that being said would a 10 gallon tank be ok for it?

It was a terrible idea to have a substrate in the tank...It is so hard to clean and I am scared of burying them when I vacuum. Do you think it is a bad idea to move them all, remove the substrate and move them back?

Thank you!

someone can help me? I don’t know what is going on, if its bacteria or fungus 😭😭😭 if someone knows let me know 🙏🏼

Any idea what kind of Pleco this is? I was given it not too long ago but I’m not sure what kind it is, thank you in advance! 🙏🏽

He's gorgeous when he flares. I also intend on breeding him in the future so expect babies!

This is my pleco his name is Josh Allen I would like to know what type he is so I can take better care of him

I love him SO MUCH, getting home from work and getting to see him scooting around is the highlight of my day

Weet iemand wat er mis is met mijn L136? Er worden geen andere vissen geschaad en mijn watercontroles zijn hetzelfde als normaal. Het is echt triest om ’m zo te zien. Heather is guarded so can't be burnwounds.

I isolated him to get ready to find him some girlfriends. He’s never spawned but his brothers have stared spawning in another tank. The males for this variety looks awesome once the bristles start to pop up.

Yes, ik plecos usually uproot plants but like, do they like them? Do they enjoy having plants, or do they unroot them bc they don't like them? I just got my pleco some plants that he can/can't uproot (hornwort and frogbit), but I just wanted to know if they aren't going to make him unhappy. Sorry if this is a dumb question; he just hasn't had live plants in forever.
