Catfish - Super Red Bristlenose (Ancistrus sp)

The Super Red Bristlenose Catfish (Ancistrus sp.) is a popular, peaceful, and hardy freshwater aquarium fish known for its striking red-orange coloration and its role as an efficient algae eater. It is a selectively bred variant of the common Bristlenose Pleco.

Key Features:

  • The Super Red Bristlenose is a peaceful community fish, but males can be territorial with other males.
  • Temperament - they are compatible with most peaceful community fish, including tetras, guppies, platies, and Corydoras catfish
  • Beginner-friendly care level
  • Maximum size: 10-15cm
  • Ideal water temperature: 22.0°C - 28.0°C
  • pH range: 6.5 - 7.5

It is essential to provide plenty of hiding spots such as caves (ceramic, PVC, or coconut shells), rocks, and especially driftwood, which is vital for their digestion and provides a surface for algae growth.
