Super Red Bushy Nose Plecostomus
The Super Red Bushy Nose Pleco is a beautiful pleco that can be seen stuck against the glass all day cleaning off the algae. They are a very efficient algae eater and will actively clean the glass, which means less cleaning for you. They have short whisker-like appendages on their nose, which helps them detect food and is how they got the common name "Bushy Nose". Like most plecos, the Super Red has a long-life span and can grow to be quite large so be sure they have enough space. Provide lots of hiding spaces to help reduce their stress especially while they are acclimating to their new environment. They prefer a planted aquarium with plenty of water movement and aeration. Even though they love eating algae that cannot be their only food source, so provide a varied diet of algae wafers and meaty, sinking pellets.
