The Brown Bristlenose Pleco is a small and hardy freshwater catfish that typically grows to a size of 10 to 15 cm (4 to 6 inches). This makes it an excellent alternative to larger pleco species. Known as one of the best algae-eating fish for aquariums, it effectively keeps glass, decorations, and driftwood clean while remaining peaceful and easy to care for. Its manageable size and efficient algae-grazing habits make it a popular choice for community tanks.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

Yes, you can order fish along with dry goods. However, if the dry goods are heavy or bulky, it may be more cost-effective to place two separate orders. In that case, you could ship the dry goods using a slower, more affordable shipping option.

If your order has not shipped yet, you can email us your correct shipping address, and we will update it for you.

On weekdays, if we receive your order before 2 p.m., it will be shipped out the same day. Dry goods are shipped from Monday to Friday. Orders that include livestock are only shipped from Monday to Thursday to avoid transit over the weekend.

At checkout, you can leave your request in the comments box.

Our locker boxes are located in the foyer of our store at 230 Hanlon Creek Blvd, Unit 107, Guelph. The room is accessible from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.
