Common Bristle-Nosed Catfish

The Bristlenose Catfish (BN Pleco) is a low-maintenance, hardworking algae eater that’s perfect for community tanks. Unlike traditional plecos that grow huge, these gentle guys stay compact at just 8–11cm — making them ideal for home aquariums.

They’re peaceful, hardy, and happiest in small groups of three or more. Bristlenose Catfish are also super useful — they clean algae from glass, driftwood, and plants, helping your tank stay spotless.

✅ Algae-Eating Pro – Keeps your tank tidy
✅ Compact Size – Only grows 8–11cm (not 50cm like common plecos!)
