Description: Description The Lemon Bristlenose Pleco (L144), is a vibrant freshwater catfish prized for its striking appearance. It has a bright yellow to lemon-colored body paired with distinctive blue eyes. Males of the species develop characteristic bristles on their snouts as they mature. Growing up to about 5 inches, this peaceful pleco is an efficient algae eater and thrives in well-maintained aquariums with plenty of hiding spots and driftwood. It's hardy and easy to care for, making it a popular choice for both beginner and experienced aquarists. Care - **Tank Size:** A minimum of 20 gallons is recommended for one Bristlenose Pleco, as they grow up to 4-5 inches. - **Water Conditions:** Keep water temperature between 72-80°F, with a pH of 6.5-7.5. Ensure good filtration and regular water changes, as they prefer clean, well-oxygenated water. - **Diet:** Bristlenose plecos are primarily herbivores. Feed them algae wafers, blanched vegetables (like zucchini and spinach), and occasional protein sources like shrimp pellets. - **Habitat:** Provide plenty of hiding places using driftwood, rocks, and caves. Driftwood is essential as they graze on it for dietary fiber. - **Behavior:** They are peaceful, compatible with most tankmates, and generally active at night. Regular maintenance and a stable environment will keep your Bristlenose Pleco healthy and thriving. **Shipping Disclaimer & DOA Policy:** **By purchasing, you agree to the following. *** Shipping We carefully pack and ship live fish using insulated packaging to ensure safe arrival.
