Bristlenose Plecs

[arobinson1984]

Just a quick question.

Can BN plecs be kept on their own or do they have to be in groups?

Thanks

Andy

absolutely fine on their own

Fine on their own but I keep them in pairs.

As said above they can be kept on their own. I have one by itself.

Thanks for the quick replies.

I'll get one tomorrow as I've already rung lfs to check they had some and they have plenty in stock.

Not all BN's will do this m8, you get some that are just purely lazy, ive had various ones in the past which cleaned but also many that wouldnt even touch the stuff, it's basically hit and miss but more towards the hit IME... when they do clean though they are superb

Is it an albino BN? It was sold as a 'golden bristlenose' or they basically the same?

One and the same, golden, albino, white and probably many other names but they are all the same
