Bristle's on a bristlenose pleco

I have juvi (what I assume to be common) bristlenose plecos; 2 brown and 2 albinos. What size/age do the bristle's begin coming in?

Depends on their environment (not to mention individual differences - I'm sure you'll remember from school that some boys got quite a bit of beard growth at 12 or so, whilst others had none at 16?).
But around 2" they should start showing some growth in the bristles.
I wrote this
FAQa while back to give some other keys to look for when determining the sex of a bristlenose.

Thanks for posting that faq. I will take a close look at the body shape to see if I can determine anything regarding their sex.

AtC: Can you add your "location" in your Profile - it's part of the Forum Rules, but also a good idea to get better advice when asking about things where your location will be useful for the solution of the question (such as "Where can I buy xxx" or "What medication should I use for yyy", as the answer will depend on where you live.
