A specialty bred coloration of the standard Bristlenose, these social little Plecostomus are great bottom dwelling fish for your aquarium. Due to their hardiness and relatively small size, they are great first Plecostomus for the beginner aquarist. Make sure to feed them plenty of vegetable matter as well as having driftwood in the aquarium.
