Hi BLACK DOG

I can't see the fish well enough to recognize the species. It is possible that it's too young to have developed bristles. If it is a BN, it might also be a female and all they get are a few short whiskers on their faces.

The shape does scream Ancisturs Sp.. so I'd say yes its a BN

I;d concur with Inch here the pic is too small

baby Bn's tend to have spots on them, ha it got spots and I;d agree the young Bn's dont have the whiskers yet

Common Bristlenose its to young to sex though takes a few month for the bristles to develop if its a male if its a female it will only get a few tiny ones on the top lip
