L183 Starlight Bristlenose Pleco (Ancistrus dolichopterus)

Price range: $24.99 through $49.99

A beautiful and sought after member of the genus Ancistrus found in Brazil’s Rio Negro, the Starlight or White Seam Bristlenose Pleco inhabits warm, acidic, tannin-stained waters where it is typically found grazing on submerged driftwood or fallen branches. In the aquarium, they are hardy and adaptable but should be provided with plenty of cover and driftwood for grazing on. Like all Bristlenose or Bushynose plecos in the genus, both males and females display bristles or tentacles along the nose as adults, with mature males having much more elaborate growth.
