Friday, May 25, 2007. While bristlenose plecos come from areas of soft water with a lower pH they adapt fine to a variety of water conditions.

Ancistrus is a genus of freshwater fish in the family Loricariidae of order Siluriformes. Fishes of this genus are commonly known as the bushynose or bristlenose plecs.
