We have had this cool guy since January. He was maybe 2 inches when we got him. He’s now closer to 4. My husband and I are stuck on identifying if he’s a common pleco that will get huge, or a bristlenose pleco. The dojo loach is about 5-6 inches at full length, for reference.
Got this cutie today, I plan to move it to my 60 gallon once it grows big enough!
Does anyone know exactly what “morph” it is? 😭
I got it for $14.00 at my local shop.
I saw a post a while before on bristlenose being more black on back substrate than another one on white

Meet my two new Wabenmuster Plecos!
I absolutely adore their patterns, although they had just arrived here so are a bit stressed!
Their new cave arrived today and they are already investigating it so I’m a very happy Pleco mum!
They are as yet unnamed so looking for inspiration!
Pleco and his friends for otos, corrys, saes, hillstream loachs
Last Pic they seem out of all foods like cabbage and frozen bustle sprouts the best all the stinky greens, I just thaw it in tank water as the freezing breaks down the texture to the sprouts ....other veggies I just zap in microwave ....cauliflower stems and broccoli stems are in the top 5
I just noticed today that my Rhino pleco has developed white splotches, one of his eyes has clouded heavily and his fins are very tattered. In response ive done a substantial water change and added stress guard and aquarium salt. He also appears to have issues laying flat and not on his side. I had actually just noticed very recently that a notch in his dorsal fin had healed up nicely, so I dont know why it seems like this came on quickly
I wish i had the time to set up a quarantine tank but Im set to leave for a weekend vacation in two days.
I have 4 green severum, 2 endlicheri bichir and a Clown Knife fish with him, all of which appear healthy.
I’ll go first- the Medusa pleco!
I recently purchased 12 Blue Eye Lemons from Shrimp Up Aquatics (it’s been about a week now) and plan to grow them out to breed. I’m really excited about our journey and looking forward to watching them grow. I’m in love already 🥰
I picked Bartok, albino bristlenose, up from petco a while ago (like a month, maybe?), and its hard to get a good pic because they're flighty. They seem active and alert, often around the driftwood and/or on the cucumber when I throw those in, supplementing the algae wafers. Also, how old does this pleco seem to be, and, if possible, what gender is it? I've had a bladder snail explosion and I want to make sure they're eating enough while also not overfeeding the tank.
I figured this was a good place to ask these questions, since they're pretty specific. I'll include water parameters just in case.
20 gal tall
Ph - 6.4
Ammonia - 0 ppm
Nitrite - 0 ppm
Nitrate - 10 ppm
I keep my temp. in the 76-80°F range
Aquarium is medium planted (if its relevent)
I need some advice please!
Some time overnight my baby pleco seems to have had an accident and I’m looking for care advice!
He looks like he’s caught himself on some of his wood and ripped a chunk out of his lip…. Please tell me this is survivable!
He’s currently in a quarantine tank on his own and the only meds I have to hand is Esha 2000.
I’m pretty sure this wasn’t caused by another fish as the only thing he was in with was Endlers, Lampeyes and Otos……
They’re so cool I wish they weren’t invasive :(
She’s been spending hours at a time hanging out like this.
Yes, the tank is cycled. Yes, the water parameters are fine. I have two filters - one running on either side of the tank. Full tank surface is constantly being agitated. She’s in a 20 gallon long with 6 cardinal tetras. She has live plants in the tank and a whole bunch of pathos growing above with roots in the water.
So…what is she doing? Should I be worried?
Think I have picked up a pair of super red bristlenose with a new tank I purchased off marketplace
