I got my Bristlenose Pleco today! He or she is just a baby and about 1.5".
Anything special I need to know? It will be in my 29g... I have a big colosseum for it to hide in...
Excited! Pics soon

Nice! I loved my BN plecos. Just make sure the water quality is really good. Also, they appreciate a piece of driftwood in the tank to munch on. Feed it half of an algae disc every other night right before you turn the light off. Once it gets bigger you can probably feed it a whole algae disc.

My mollies and gourami are pigs... How do you suggest I feed him? How old is it? Any guesses?

Your bn should do fine, size wise, in your 29. I had one in mine. Try feeding it soft veggies.
