Temminckii Bristlenose pleco

Quick Overview

Good algae eater. Peaceful and rather shy. The bushy nose pleco will spend most of it's day in the shade, waiting for the cover of the night to start it's search for food.
Should be fed algae wafers every now and then.
Does best in tanks with lots of driftwood. Remains smaller than other pleco, therefore suitable for medium-sized tanks.
