Hi cinciboy,
I think Bristlenose Pleco grows maximum 3-3.5" only. My each discus tank have one each.
They don't grow large as normal pleco. |

The problem with them in a discus tank is that, the time they go after the smile coat of the fish then its difficult to get them off it.
If discus owners dont have this issue then its fine but in reality they will do that.
Regards,
Surya |

Hello, I have grown it myself around 5 inches (head to tail). I have three in my 4 feeter now and they are already more than 3 inches. I agree that they dont grow fast like normal ones but I have seen some big ones. Googling will make it clear. |

I was inclined to put albino corydoras in the tank. They look compatible and I know a few who have kept them successfully.
I was suggested the Albino bristlenose pleco by Shiva Nair. So I did not doubt the compatibility. |
