I got a p l e c o that they said was a bristlenose, but I'm not so sure about that now that it's grown. It's not more than 3" SL and I've had it for at least 4 years. I would send a picture, but I see no way to add one here. Please tell me how to do that. Thank you.

What makes you think it's NOT a bristlenose? Lack of bristles? That just makes it a female, I would think.

No, I have a gold bristlenose female with no bristles. It just doesn't look like one to me. And please, it is a P L E C O, not a pl*co. I do not think it's necessary to make that decision for me. I do not have a URL. Does that mean I can't post a picture? Thank you!

The pic is a bit blurry, but certainly a female Ancistrus sp. Take a look at and as they are the two most commonly available "brown" spp.
