Before you choose from this collection
Bristlenose plecos (Ancistrus) stay small at 12-15 cm, graze algae and biofilm, need driftwood to rasp and a cycled tank of about 80 litres or more at 23-29°C, and commonly live 10 years or more in good conditions. Common, albino, Super Red, Snow White, longfin and L-number Ancistrus are listed below with live prices and our Live Arrival Guarantee.
Shop common Bristlenose colour strains and selected Ancistrus species in the UK, including albino, Super Red, Snow White, longfin and L-number fish. Current price and availability are shown on each product listing.
Common colour strains and rarer Ancistrus species can need different conditions. Check the exact listing and reviewed care guide for adult size, aquarium volume, temperature, water chemistry, diet and social guidance before ordering.

Frequently asked questions
Prices vary by strain, species, size and current availability. Use the live product cards for the current price rather than relying on a static range.
Adult size varies between common Bristlenose strains and other Ancistrus species. Check the exact listing and care guide before choosing an aquarium; do not apply one collection-wide size or tank rule to every fish.
Bristlenose and related Ancistrus may graze surfaces, but they should not be bought as a substitute for aquarium maintenance. Follow the listing-specific feeding guidance and provide a complete, suitable diet.
Use the reviewed species care guide when choosing wood, caves and other hardscape. Requirements can vary, and aquarium wood does not replace a complete diet.
A Bristlenose is a long-term aquarium commitment. Lifespan depends on species, water quality, diet and husbandry, so use the reviewed care guide rather than a single collection-wide promise.
Breeding behaviour and setup depend on the exact Ancistrus species or strain. Confirm the fish's identity and follow a reviewed species guide before attempting to breed it.
