I've been lurking around the site for awhile, learning as much as I can and envying the amazing setups on here. I recently bought what was labeled as a bristlenose pleco from our LFS, he was still a little one maybe 2".
He has grown a bit over the last couple weeks, but I was hoping to see some bristles appear as he grew a little but have not yet. We went back to the same LFS and saw that the other bristlenose plecos already have quite a few bristles and they aren't quite as long as ours.
So my question's are -
Is this really a bristlenose or did i get another 'soon-to-be-giant' common?
What would those white bumps be on his lip/nose area? He had something that looked similar when we first got him, one white lump on each fin but they went away after a couple days.
