M@. Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 Is it classed as a cat fish ???? yes - from wiki: "Ancistrus [bristle nose] is a genus of freshwater fish in the family Loricariidae [sucker mouthed catfish] of order Siluriformes [catfish]. Fish of this genus are commonly known as the bushynose or bristlenose plecos." Or an Algae Eater/Sucker Fish ??? I would associate this more with Chinese algae eaters and hillstram loaches respectively. Although both are common names for anything that sucks onto stuff and eats algae Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judy Sanson Posted May 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 Many thanks for the answers, it has answered my question :thup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asmodeus Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 Speaking of plecos, if I have grit as a substrate, does that mean no plecos? I know it's a bad idea with corys, but what about plecos? There are also rocks and driftwood in the tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asmodeus Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 It's the stuff from stone & water world 0.8-1.4mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 Don't see why that would be a problem. Plecs and bristlenoses don't care how big or small your substrate is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judy Sanson Posted May 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 What about Clown Loaches?? Fine river sand ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godly3vil Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 I use sand in my tanks and I keep multiple types of catfish and loaches with no issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calculator Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 They are with sand in my tanks, and are fine, with grit I might be worried that it might be sharp and rib there bellies, but it should be fine with plecos, just not cat fish that like to borrow/shift though it.
