Fish time

Bristlenose catfish (Ancistus sp.) make a snack of the unfortunate (unidentifiable) remains of a fellow tank member at the Coburg Aquarium~🐟

Help they're eating the courgette alive! Piranha swarm!!!

Have you done bristlenose pleco facts?

I have not! Let's change that.

Daily fish fact #589

Bristlenose pleco!

Also called a bushynose pleco. They're named after their facial fleshy tentacles! Adult males will have tentacles all over their face, but females only tend to have them on their snout. They're common in aquariums due to their peaceful nature.

Look at Finnley's beautiful face while he munches on an algae wafer~

Draw me like one of your french girls 😘

Thorned Bristlenose Catfish (size ~14cm); Shark Ray (size <2.7m); Whale Shark (size <18.8m)

Got a good video that has every fish I have in it.

Would rather breath air than deal with a water change ✨

The life-cycle of the Bristlenose Catfish (also known as the Bristlenose Pleco)

Starring my pair, Milton (the girl) and Titan (the boy). By the way, don’t worry about the fact the eggs are out of the water, I remove the eggs from the tank before babies can develop as a single batch can produce more than a hundred babies.

Day 6 of Zorafying the fish-uary 2024 prompts

I uh, took a suggestion and did two catfishes after all, a bristlenose pleco and a black bullhead, who I decided to characterize as a couple of old men because I thought it was funny, lol

I am SUPER happy with both of them but I'm especially pleased with Mr. Bullhead being such a fucking sea monster while Mr. Leoni looks like he's running a restaurant as a front for the Zorani mob, lmao

I've gradually tamed the beast Sandy, she now begrudgingly feeds from my hand.

Sandy is a Bristlenose plecos (Ancistrus sp.) and this is her full adult size, she's not one of them monster plecs.

One of my bristlenose catfish is a very big idiot who has decided to live in the cucumber. I dont know why. Perhaps a food-house is just appealing to him. I was so worried when he refused to leave it, i thought he might got stuck or somehow strangled himself. In there for three days!

Catfish are such fascinating creatures

So my sister and I were talking about my bristlenose pleco named Finnley. Specifically about his nose and about some comments some people have made about him when I've posted his picture online before. The last picture is a photo of someone else's BN pleco to compare. You can see how poofy Finnley's nose is compared to the other pleco. If you compare him to most other photos of BN plecos it really becomes apparent how poofy his nose is. Someone even asked me once if he was a special type of BN pleco. He's always looked like that so I don't think it's swelling from infection or anything like that. Do they get like that as they age? He's about 8 years old. What do you guys think?
