Care Guide
Tank setup: Give them caves, driftwood and good filtration. They are most active at night.
Feeding: Feed algae wafers and sinking pellets once a day, ideally in the evening when they are most active. They also enjoy frozen bloodworms.
Tankmates: They are peaceful and get along with most community fish. Males may squabble over caves, so give each one its own hiding spot.
Good to know: Male bushynose plecos grow soft bristles on their snout as they mature, while females stay smoother-faced. They are great algae grazers.
