Blue Eye Lemon Bristlenose Pleco (Tank-Bred)

To protect our animals and to ensure they get to our customers healthy, we will only ship orders with Nano Fish via UPS Next Day Air. Blue Eye Lemon Bristlenose Plecos (L144) also known as Bushynose Plecos are awesome looking plecos are one of the few plecos that stay relatively small compared to their larger cousins. Their max size is up to 5 to 6 inches, which makes them great for most home aquariums. We sell them as Juveniles at around 1.5 to 2 inches in length.  They will grown bristles on their nose (hence, their name) as they get older, but the males will have more prominent bristles compared to the females. These fishes are great for algae control and will not bother most plants, they also should not bother freshwater dwarf shrimp.  Blue Eye Lemon Bristlenose Plecos (L144) are pretty easy to care as long as they are introduced to a mature, cycled tank. They can acclimate to a wide range of parameters.  The following are our water parameters we keep them at: Our Tank Water Parameters PH: 7.2 to 7.5 GH: 7 to 8 KH: 3 to 4 TDS: 180 to 250 Temp: 72 to 75 We feed them a mix of frozen foods and high-quality sinking pellets.
