Pretty happy to add this guy to my tank.

Say hello to my new Bristlenose Pleco.

I know the glass is dirty but rare sighting of our male #BristlenosePleco so hoping you'll see past it. Doesn't like being on camera; bails immediately when I try to video. The #swordtail & baby are paid actors.

A Red Bristlenose Plec amongst the water grasses. He is clinging to the glass with his sucker mouth.

Tyre Track Eel eating a cube of bloodworm. He has learned to flip them around and swallow them whole. I wonder if he gets ice headaches? He won't eat anything else. So he must like it is my reasoning. Oh he eats the occasional fish.

Big Red, the Bristle nose Plec. I bought him so he would not get eaten, he does get chased quite a lot that seems to be more a playful thing. It has turned out to be a pretty stable community tank. Although a few have suicided recently.
