Bushy Nose Pleco Diet?

[West1]

I was blessed with a 3" BushyNose Pleco that is black with some dark stripes and has white on the tip of his tail..... I have no clue what type

I wanted to know what do they eat??

Carnivore or Herbs...

Thanks

Right now just feeding on waffers (that I seen)

Make sure you don't feed him/her veggies only because they have a high chance of catching bloat with high protein. Feed him/her vegetable and most of all zucchini they love zucchini. Good Luck

How can you tell?

Does anyone know the exact name of this dude (or is there only 1 type of bushynose)?

Want to know max size etc...

Looks like it COULD be one of the Medusa types. Check out the planetcatfish Cat-eLog.

Maybe that will give you some direction...

It's just a common brown Bristlenose pleco one of the L-144 varietys. It's a male because he's starting to sprout bristles females would have very little around the lip around. He's almost fully grown and should breed anytime for you But definitly not a medusa
