Always a pleasure to see the tank when it catches some natural light.

Have you done bristlenose pleco facts?

I have not! Let's change that.

Daily fish fact #589

Bristlenose pleco!

Also called a bushynose pleco. They're named after their facial fleshy tentacles! Adult males will have tentacles all over their face, but females only tend to have them on their snout. They're common in aquariums due to their peaceful nature.

Look at Finnley's beautiful face while he munches on an algae wafer~

One of my other tanks: the 180l tank next to the kitchen.

I've got it from a work college, who didn't want it anymore 2 years ago.

I gave some of the fish away and only kept 2 ancistrus and 3 Puntigrus.

Current stocking:

A pair of Hemichromis guttatus Super Blue (love them, had the for a few years in another tank, but they'll stay in this one)

10 Puntigrus tetrazona (added 7, 3 is to little a group for them)

3 Ancistrus sp. (added a white female)

And one dwarf channa (rescue)

Also some snails

I'm hoping to open up international postage again soon, and the first thing I'm going to restock is my NEW IMPROVED bristlenose pleco plushies.

Look at them, waiting for their suction cups, eyes and stuffing.

Looking a bit better a few days after big maintenance. The new plants are settling well it looks like, the stem plants are growing well. Can't wait to be back home after work and stare at my aquarium some more. I didn't get to do the last adaptions I made for shrimps yet, I got sick last weekend, so that's still on my to-do-list. Not sure yet if I'm going for Amano shrimp or neocaridina. I've had neocaridina before but without much luck. They're my favourite, though! So cute.

I finally got a pic of them together! Baby mama and baby daddy plecos. Right now the male just finished guarding their third batch of eggs.

Some pleco action this morning

Finnley came out today and stuck around for me to take some footage of. He is one of the first fish I owned when I started the hobby 7 years ago!
