Orange & Black Bristlenose Pleco Ancistrus 3cm

Overview: The Orange and Black Bristlenose Pleco is a striking and highly sought-after freshwater fish known for its unique coloration and manageable size, making it a popular choice for aquarium enthusiasts. Recognized by its vibrant orange and black pattern, this species is not only beautiful but also very functional, as it plays a crucial role in algae control within the tank. Growing up to 4-5 inches in length, they are perfect for small to medium-sized aquariums.

Origin: Originating from the fast-flowing streams and rivers of South America, the Bristlenose Pleco has adapted to a variety of water conditions, making it relatively easy to care for in home aquariums. Its natural habitat is characterized by rocky substrates and plenty of hiding spots among the driftwood and vegetation.

Feeding: Primarily herbivores, the Orange and Black Bristlenose Pleco thrives on a diet rich in vegetables and algae. They will readily accept sinking algae wafers, blanched vegetables (like zucchini, cucumbers, and peas), and occasional treats of frozen or live foods for variety. It's crucial to ensure that their diet is well-rounded to maintain their health and color vibrancy.

Tank Mates: This species is peaceful and can coexist with a wide variety of tank mates. Ideal companions include small to medium-sized community fish, such as tetras, guppies, and mollies. It's important to avoid housing them with large, aggressive fish that may bully or harm them.

Aggression: Bristlenose Plecos are generally peaceful and solitary creatures. However, males can show territorial aggression towards each other, especially during breeding season. Providing ample hiding spaces and a large enough tank can minimize aggression.

Experience Level: Due to their hardy nature and minimal care requirements, the Orange and Black Bristlenose Pleco is suitable for aquarists of all experience levels, from beginners to seasoned hobbyists.

Water Parameters:
  • Temperature: 73-81°F (23-27°C)
  • pH: 6.5-7.5
  • Hardness: 6-10 dGH
Regular water changes and good filtration are important to keep the water clean and oxygen-rich, mimicking their natural flowing water habitat. Ensuring these conditions will help your Bristlenose Pleco thrive and contribute to a healthy and balanced aquarium ecosystem.

Heavy duty brackets!
Size: 8 Inch, Color: Gold, Size: 8 Inch, Color: Gold
These brackets are heavy duty and came with the correct hardware. They were easy to install, the two holes were so helpful to know where to mark them. I think because they’re heavy duty you can place a good amount of weight on your shelves. The only thing I wasn’t happy with is that 4/69 of shelves, the paint was chipping but it was the perfect gold color.

Don't hesitate - Great product!
Size: 12 Inch, Color: Black
Superior quality at an unbelievable savings over local retailers. Hardware for hanging included the cheaper plastic lags yet they also included the heavy duty lags, so no tapping in to our supply. Thank you for a great product
