Chocolate Bushynose - 2-3" Unsexed. Remarks : Chocolate bushynose are the closest to their wild-type coloration and are the classic bushynose pleco. They are brown with tan spots, and the body color varies with mood and age. They may have white tips at the end of their fins. Bushynose, or bristlenose plecos, belong to the genus Ancistrus but their exact species is unknown. The common bushynose plecos you see available today are likely line-bred from A. cirrhosus , but there is a chance hybridization with other Ancistrus species occurred at some point. Their common name is derived from the long and elaborate tentacles that develop on the faces of males. The bigger the "beard" as some call it, the more dominant the male. Females will occasionally develop bristles as well along the edges of their face making it difficult to dif. Source: Imperial Tropicals live fish catalogue.
