Neat&Tidy Golden Blue Eye Longfin Bristlenose Pleco 1.0"-1.5" (Pack of 2 Fish)

✅ This incredibly impressive-looking fish is one of the few members of the “pleco” group of catfish that will not exceed 4 to 5.9 inches in length, making it a perfect choice for home freshwater aquariums! We also have subadults available for aquarists that are looking to start a breeding project

✅ The L144a Longfin Blue Eye Lemon Bristlenose Pleco (Ancistrus sp. “Longfin Blue Eye Lemon”), also known as the Bushynose or Bushymouth Pleco, is a member of the Loricariidae family of South American suckermouth catfishes

✅ While many suckermouth catfish species have yet to be bred on any major scale in aquariums, the Longfin Blue Eye Lemon Bristlenose Pleco is being propagated by a few commercial breeders

✅ Its facial area becomes adorned with many bristle-like appendages beginning in sub-adulthood. Both sexes grow the appendages, but the growth and length is much more pronounced in males. This longfin variety is exceptionally elegant and unique with the combination of its facial “bristles” and extra long fins, which give it a “dragon-like” appearance

✅ A generally peaceful and hardy species, the Longfin Blue Eye Lemon Bristlenose Pleco is an excellent, undemanding candidate for most aquariums. Unlike the widely-seen Common Pleco (Hypostomus plecostomus) and Trinidad Pleco (Hypostomus punctatus), which easily reach a monstrous size of 18 to 20+ inches (45 to 51+ cm), the Longfin Blue Eye Lemon Bristlenose Pleco grows to a size of only 4 to 5.9 inches (10 to 15 cm)

✅ This smaller size makes for a much more manageable (and less messy) pleco that can thrive permanently in a well-maintained aquarium as small as 30 to 40 gallons. Male plecos may be somewhat territorial with other males of their species, but disputes can usually be diffused by providing ample territory and hiding places for each fish. All other tankmates will be generally ignored, although it is possible that small shrimp fry might fall prey to the Longfin Blue Eye Lemon Bristlenose Pleco

✅ However, some large-scale shrimp suppliers breed Longfin Blue Eye Lemon Bristlenose Plecos in the same pools they use for shrimp breeding. algae eater fish live

✅ The Longfin Blue Eye Lemon Bristlenose Pleco is primarily nocturnal, but will often become active during daytime hours once established in an aquarium with plenty of driftwood, rockwork, and other hiding places. It is not known to eat wood heavily like some plecos (Panaque sp., etc.), but it may benefit from some supplementary wood (or bio-film on driftwood)
