Add a hardworking and reliable algae eater to your aquarium with our Common Bristlenose Plecos! These classic plecos feature natural brown, gray, and mottled patterns that provide excellent camouflage and a natural look in any freshwater setup.

Unlike common plecos (Hypostomus species), Bristlenose stay compact, making them ideal for community tanks and African cichlid grow-out systems.
