Can i keep more than one bristlenose pleco in an aquarium

Question

and if so whats the minimum aquarium size for 4 bristlenoses

Answer 1

Bristlenose plecs can grow up to 4.5 inches and need at least a 30g tank.   They are compatible with most freshwater fish:

Angelfish

Discus

African Cichlids

South American Cichlids

Tetras

Barbs

Danios

Gouramis

Rainbowfish

Guppies

Platies

Mollies

Swordtails

Loaches

Plecos

Scavenger Catfish

You should have them in groups of 3 or more so they don't get aggressive towards other fish.

Answer 2

Adult males can be territorial, they are OK if the tank is big enough, but in a small tank they often fight.

Best option is one male and several females, for 4, I would suggest a tank around 30gal.

Multiple males, go with a bigger tank to allow them space.
