Pleco – Golden Longfin Bushy Nose Pleco Fish

Description

The Golden Longfin Bushy Nose Pleco, otherwise known as Ancistrus, is a smaller pleco with origins in South America. Reaching the maximum size of only about 5”, this fish is a peaceful omnivore ideal for many aquariums.  The Longfin Bushy Nose Plecostomus gets its name “Bushy Nose” from the barbels on its face that it uses to help it find food.  It has longer and more majestic fins than its normal counterpart.

Plenty of hiding places should be provided for this fish so that it can feel comfortable and reduce stress.  It prefers to be more active at night when it feels more secure.  The bushy nose are good eaters, and are not finicky about what they eat.  While it will scavenge for some food, it must also be fed a good quality algae disc or wafer in order to maintain good health and ingest protein.
