Can't decide between pit bull or bristle nose (reg not albino). I have two 55 gal that both need a bottom dweller so maybe I could get both, but I would like to hear some opinions. If you have ever read any of my other posts you would know i am reeeeeeaaaaalllly indecisive.
The Pit Bulls are small and need to be kept in groups, plus they require a sand only substrate because when they are nervous/frightened they will dig under the sand to hide. If you have any aggressive fish in your tank the Pitbull Pleco will spend most of their time under the sand.
The Gold Nuggets are beautiful but not real hardy. Plus they come different sizes, the L018 grows to be 14" long, the L177 is 8" long and then the L081 & L085 are 7" long. Unless your FS sells them by their name and their number it's very difficult to tell the difference.
The BN Pleco gives you a few choices, not just the Reg. brown or Albino.
I have one reg. Brown BN, he's a work horse. I also have 2 Green Dragon BN Plecos. They are very cool and cute, a nice addition to any tank. I also have 3 Long Fin Albino BN Plecos in my Angelfish tank. They are extremely elegant and fit in nicely with the Angels.
Here are a few pics. of what each of them look like. The Green Dragon and the first long Fins are mine and they are about 6 months old. I don't have a picture of my brown BN, he's camera shy & very fast. And I have yet to get a pic of my Long fin Albino at full length, so I added the second 2 pics. so you could see them next to each other.
You can get the Long Fins BN in Brown, Albino or Calico/Tricolored , so there are 3 more choices.
As far as price goes, none of them cost very much. My Green dragon's were only $8.99 a piece and the Long Fins were $12.99 each. Not much for a cool Pleco that works really well in a 55g tank.
This was meant to give you information to help you decide which Plecos you would like to get, so I hope it doesn't add to your indecision.
Tap on the glass and yell "BLOODWORMS"?
