Albino Bristlenose Ancistrus ($10.00 each)
These albino bristlenose ancistus are a wonderful community tank fish.
They are a very peaceful tropical fish and will help clean algae off the glass. Unlike plecos, they will not pose any danger to your discus fish. Even though the ancistrus is a vegetarian, it will not harm your planted aquarium. But they will clean and eat all the algae they can find in your tank. |

| The albino bristlenose ancistrus are primarily vegetarians. Feed them
fresh zucchini or cucumber slices, algae wafers, vegetable flake fish food and frozen bloodworms. Also, always provide them with a small piece of driftwood to help them digest their food. You can tie fresh slices of zucchini and cucumber to the driftwood with a rubber band and watch them happily gorge their food. These ancistrus usually don't get much larger than 5 inches in size. The water temperature of the aquarium should be 74 - 82 degrees. |
