Green Dragon Bristlenose Pleco
Green Dragon Bristlenose Pleco is a captive-bred Ancistrus strain prized for greenish colour, algae-grazing behaviour and manageable bristlenose size. It is a peaceful bottom-dweller for mature planted aquariums with wood, caves and stable water.
Quick facts
- Scientific name: Ancistrus sp. Green Dragon
- Adult size: around 12 cm
- Minimum aquarium: 80 litres+
- Temperature: 22-28C
- pH: 6.5-7.5
- Diet: algae wafers, vegetables, driftwood grazing and sinking foods
Care and compatibility
Provide driftwood, caves and gentle-to-moderate flow. Green Dragon Ancistrus is plant safe and generally peaceful, but males still appreciate their own cave territory. Do not rely on aquarium algae alone as the full diet.
