Just curious is this the real name of this pleco or does it go by other names as well?
 
Calico bristlenose plecos are an albino that has darker coloration and shows lines.
 
i think he means if it has any other names like a bushy nose pleco

Okay thanks ..i just wanted to make sure it was named correctly ..will post a pic soon so you can tell me if it is this one...:D
 
he is in the guppy tank which is filled with algae and plants ..so i managed to get one lousy picture of what i think is a baby boy?? :D Is he a high fin or regular?
 
He isn't a calico, just a common brown BN. He isn't a baby, but rather an adult male. There isn't a hifin bn to my knowledge out there.

I just looked it up and it says they grow 5.5 inches ..this guy is about 2 inches so if this is Temminck's Bristol nose ..then he is still a baby...or is he a different kind???
