Bristlenose Plecos - EVERYTHING YOU WANT TO KNOW!

Bristlenose plecos are one of the first fish I started to keep when I got back into the fish keeping hobby almost 4 years ago. They are a great addition to many tanks, come in a variety of colors, and can even be bred in your aquarium.
I have been asked many questions about keeping and breeding bushy nose plecos over the past few years and I decided to answer the most commons ones in this video for you.
