BN Pleco

Post by dag »

Okay , I have yet another question regarding my pleco . Now that I know she is a she I would like more info about her . I have looked at pics on this site and she looks like the bristle faced pleco . She has grown slowly over about a year to 6 inches and is really beautiful ( now that she is coming out for viewing more often ) . I am confused as to whether or not the bristle nose and bristle faced are the same or different fish . She is brown with yellow dots and much prettier than any of the others I've seen in shops since I got her . Does anyone know of a site with more info on these specific plecs or are there just too many variations to list ? Thanks in advance .
