This is my new male (?) Bristlenose Pleco. I already love him! Hes got an attitude thats for sure. Hes been swimming around the tank checking things out with his big "spikes" sticking out. I've never seen this before because my female BN in my 50g doesn't do this. She sticks her "spikes" out for a second or 2 but he has been swimming around for the past half an hour doing this off and on. I got a few good pics of him though, I think he may be a little stressed because hes kind of a greyish color right now whereas in the store he was solid black. Anyway, enjoy! :)

Cute.........:)
 
Very nice!
 
Ugliest fish ever. I love BN plecos and really want another one.
 
Haha they are ugly aren't they? Gotta love 'em though :)
 
Awesome, I wish mine had the temperment of yours!
 
How big, how old?
 
Hes about 4.5-5 inches big and I have no clue how old he is...just got him yesterday. Hes already done a number on the brown algae thats all over the rocks and such in the tank. You can see where he was sucking off the algae because there are these circular spots all over the glass walls of the tank haha.
