what really is the difference regarding hardiness and all? right now i have 3 bristlenose for my african tank, may get 3 rubbernose for my other tank ( 45 ) so what really is the deference b/w them?
ah yeah had some rubbernose before and they died, though they ate algea to ( didnt get them just for algea though ) so maybe i should get 3 more bristlenose for my 45 then? hmm. i want to get some clowns but ugh, cant find them here yet, and well er i did before but they are expensive.... starting to like plecos now lol.
yes rubbernose and bulldogs are the same. they also eat algae. but that isnt the only thing that BN or rubbernoses should eat. you should feed them veggies at least once a week. pref everyother day... and they both need driftwood in the tank to munch on as part of their diet. they will not live on algae alone.
i feed mine a slice of cucumber every other day or when they finish it. they love it. i have some sinkers on fishing line and let it sink to the bottom and the plecos become glued to it haha. green beans, cucumbers, zuccinni are some others. blanch the beans. i just use cucumbers though because they are cheap and they seem to love them.
