Super Red Longfin Bristlenose Pleco is a selectively line-bred bristlenose pleco developed for its intense orange-to-deep red coloration and flowing long fins. Typically reaching about 10–12 cm (4–5 inches), it remains small and well suited for community aquariums.
It is a hardy, peaceful algae grazer that constantly feeds on biofilm, algae, and driftwood, helping keep tanks clean while being easy to maintain. Because it is selectively bred, its vivid coloration and fin development can vary slightly between lines, but it is consistently prized as a standout ornamental pleco in planted and display aquariums.
