Bristlenose in 33 gallon

[Sean_Buckley]

How many BN's should I have in a 33 gallon to do a good job of keeping down the algae? I have one right now, but it doesnt seem to be doing the best job. I have lots of caves and I'm getting more the day I get the next BN.

You could easily fit 3 or 4 in there comfortably. The only problem you will get is the amount of poop that they'll produce !!

I had 5 x 2-3" BN's in my 45G tank for about 4 weeks, and there were no problems at all, and they did a fantastic job of keeping the tank free of algae !!

I know they poop a lot. Its amazing much poop just one BN can produce in a week!
