Blue Eye Lemon Bristlenose Pleco (L144) – Ancistrus sp.

Blue Eye Lemon Bristlenose Plecos acclimate best when introduced into a mature aquarium with established surfaces for grazing. Once settled, they spend much of their time feeding on biofilm, algae, and sinking foods such as wafers and vegetables. What sets them apart from standard bristlenose plecos is their vivid yellow coloration paired with rare blue eyes, a combination that remains visually striking under aquarium lighting. They are best added to well-filtered tanks with hiding spaces like driftwood and caves, where stable parameters support healthy growth and long-term well-being.
