Ancistrus cf_cirrhosus
This is Mr Bristlenose, you can see he has lots of tentacles on his nose, Mrs Bristlenose also lives in our tank, she has only a few small tentacles. The Bristlenose's like to hide, they hide in the piece of driftwood under the plants, they hide behind the statue, they even move ornaments and dig under the gravel to create new hiding places!
They have big sucker mouths and use them to stick to the glass or the statue and the underside of the leaves.
I think the Bristlenose's are very cool.
In other fish news - we have babies!!!! I noticed them hiding amongst the leaves of the plants a couple of days ago...
We are up to our 3rd Mr Briss. (although one of them was clearly Mrs). They are the favourite in our tank. Our only problem is that Mr Briss is loved so much that someone keeps feeding him algae tablets and he therefore doesn't bother cleaning our tank for us!
