Adrienne Posted October 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 Thanks, I thought that a common plec and a bristlenose were the one and same but obviously not :oops: :oops: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidb Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 No the common plec is the one beginners often buy without realising they grow massive... They are like the sailfin plec but withouth the sailfin :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ianab Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 There as several species called 'common plecos', but the one we seem to get here in NZ is P. pardalis http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/species.php?species_id=88 The other species have slight differences, but they are all BIG grey plecos. Brisltlenose are Ancistrus species, again the most common is this one. http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/species.php?species_id=49 It's important to know which one you are buying. One grows to 12cm, the other to 35cm+ Cheers Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
