Super Red Longfin Bristlenose Pleco

Bristlenose Plecos belong to the genus Ancistrus. Males will develop long and elaborate tentacles on their faces, though females may develop bristles as well. They come in a variety of colour forms, with Super Red being particulalry popular amongst fishkeepers. They are mostly non-aggressive, though they may fight for dominance over a specific cave with other Plecos.

Bristlonose plecos will thrive in an environment with lots of smooth surfaces to graze algae, and absolutely love driftwood. A planted driftwood habitat is highly recommended.

How big do Super Red Plecs get?
Super Red Bristlenose Ancistrus do not grow as large as many other plec species. Unlike the Common Pleco (Hypostomus plecostomus) which easily exceed 20 inches (50cm) the Super Red Bristlenose Pleco grows to a size of only 4 to 6 inches (10 to 15 cm).

Features
Approx. supplied size: 2-3cm
Maximum size: 6" / 15cm
Origin: South America, captive bred
Family: Ancistrus
Temperament: Peaceful
Lighting requirement: Low
Ideal number kept together: 1+

Water conditions
Our conditions: pH 7.5, temp 25°C
Ideal pH: 6.0–8.0
Water flow: low to moderate
Ideal temperature: 20-28°C

Ease of care
Easy. Longfin ancistrus have extended fins that may curl as they grow. The fins can get stuck in wood as they swim, leading to temporary rips in the fin, and can make them prone to fin-nippers although this is rare. 

Compatibility
Plecos are compatible with virtually all non-predatory and community fish. Care must be taken with fish and shrimp fry, as larger specimens will often mistake them for food or accidentally graze on them.

Diet
Feed a herbivorous diet which includes algae wafers and organic greens, like spinach.

Breeding

Males are often defined by large bushynose bristles at the nose. Pairs will breed quite readily in captive aquaria. The addition of tannins to the aquarium, such as Alder Cones or Catappa Leaves, have been known to stimulate breeding.

Life Span
Super Red Bristlenose Plecos can live up to 10 years in perfect conditions.

Not as effective as original Dr. M
I bought this after reading several reviews that it is as effective as the original Dr. M. Having used both I can assert this product is NOT nearly as effective. I still had some of the original Dr. M. and did a half and half comparison and it was immediately clear. This exfoliate "pills" like the original but not nearly to the degree and when washed away the half I used the leftover Dr. M. was clean of dead skin and showed clear pores. The other half? Not so much. I'll be going back to the original.

Beef Tallow Sunscreen
That dry, stretched sensation that I sometimes get from using other sunscreens was not something that I experienced with this one. On the contrary, I had the impression that my skin remained supple and pleasant throughout the morning. I used it prior to going about my errands, having a drive, going for a stroll outdoors, and spending time at the park. To my satisfaction, I did not feel the need to quickly apply another moisturizing lotion on top of the one I was using in order to restore the natural feel of my skin. Simply said, it made it simpler for me to utilize on a daily basis. When I wore it for a longer period of time, I also paid attention to how it felt on my face. Even though I wore it on a number of days when the temperature was high, I did not experience any discomfort as the day progressed. Despite the fact that I was aware that I was wearing sunscreen, I did not feel any discomfort or want to wash my face straight away with it. Because I am quite particular about the products that I use on my face, I found that to be really helpful. In addition to having a sunscreen that is dependable, I want it to be something that I can really endure for a considerable amount of time.

The Best Way to Keep My Skin Happy Under the Sun
I am so happy that I found this special white cream because it is the best helper for my face and arms when I am playing outside in the big bright sun. I keep the bottle right near my sink so I can put it on before I go out to play, and it is very easy to use because the cream feels very smooth and soft like butter when I rub it on my skin. Sometimes other white creams feel very chalky or yucky like flour, but this one is a great deal for the price because it blends in so well and it does not leave a big white ghost face on me once I rub it in. It feels very simple and clean on my skin and it does not have a scary or strong smell, which makes me very happy because it does not feel greasy or oily like a piece of pizza. Even when I put more on later in the day, it does not clog up my skin or feel heavy like a thick blanket, so it is a wonderful value because I can use it all day long and stay comfortable. The tube is a perfect size to throw in my backpack or my travel bag when we go on a trip, and it feels very strong and tough like it will last a long time without the cap breaking off. It is a very practical and smart tool for my skin because it forms a strong layer that I can see at first to make sure I am safe, and it feels much better and more dependable than thin lotions that disappear too fast. I think everyone who likes to be outdoors should get this because it is durable, it works perfectly to keep me safe, and it is so simple and easy to use that it never gets in the way of my fun!
