  1. Probably an Ancistrus species, one of the so called bristle nose catfish.  Goggle search for more info.


  2. Based on the description, I believe he is a bristlenose pleco, genus Ancistrus, usually grows around five inches but can reach a maximum of 7 inches. Very efficient algae eater and I believe you have a long-finned variety. Try to search "bristlenose pleco" and see if it is.

  3. Can you post a picture.. there are over 500 species of pleco, we can guess better with a picture.
