i know i keep looking at the pic and looking at my bristle babies, looks spit of them , but also reminds me of something else,,arrrghh,,,nellys not good with plecs,not my fortae,, unsure.gif

its the second fin on each side that makes me think that it isn't a bristlenose

3ft. 95ltrs

nope your going to need a tank that is at least 250- 300litres to keep it happy for life.
your going to need a tank that is more than 12inches wide and for a fully grown very messy plec you will need a very good cannister filter
