What Kind Of Bn Pleco Is This?

[GoldfishAttentionSpan]

I now have better pictures of the pleco I got from Petco awhile back. He is a BN, and he always stays hidden. Always- I never see him out. I had to flip over his hiding spot to take pics of him. I worry that he will starve, because he probably isn't getting enough food staying in one spot?

Yes, its the same fish in two different tanks. He was in the ten gallon, but I moved him into the 30 gallon because it has more algae and more room.

Looks like a common bristlenose to me. If you feed him algae wafers and fresh vegetables every few days he'll do fine. If he won't come out in the day, feed him at night and gradually earlier until you can get him to come out in the day. Sometimes they start out shy but I have 5 Albinos and they all are in the open a lot.

Yep common bn.

Funny, my normal coloured one was very shy too, yet my albinos are always out. It's normally the other way around with albinos lol.
