Bushy Nose Pleco

I've had one now for 9 years, what is the lifespan on these guys?

Brian

Depends. Tynk only gets a few months out of hers as she uses em for a
sex toy and they wind up with some bad yeast and fungal infections.

Hi Brian.
Pay no attention to "Pondmeister". It's simply my turn to be a target
for his foul mouthed tantrums. Just ignore him.

As for your Pleco, I did a quick search and came up several differnent
answers. Anywhere between 4-20 yrs. Isn't that crazy.
I checked 4 sites and got 4 different answers.
They are also called "bristlenose" plecos as well.
They're great for algae control and stay relatively small. A much
better choice of Pleco than a common one.
It's too bad the pet shops don't push them instead of the commons (who
get very large).
Sorry I couldn't help you with the facts, but I just coudln't get a
common answer.

You sure seem emphatuated with me Tynk. I know yu gave me a good blow
job in your dreams, but don't let it go to your head........your still
just a dumbass hate monger. get on with curing that yeast and fungal
infection in that crack of yours. That ought to teach you a lesson
about having fish sex with Gill. .....or was it Jan

Roy,

I do believe you meant to say "infatuated", and by the way I honestly
could really care less if you died in the chair you are sitting in at
the moment. So....no. I'm not in any way infatuated by or with you.

Also, again....not impressed by the post. Same old crap.
As often as you have used *yeast infection, fungal infection, sex with
animals (assorted), Gill and Jan in most of the replies you have made
in the weeks past, that I believe it is you my dear who is quite
infatuated with the lot. I however, am not.
Is the purpose of these posts to try and shock or disgust me, because
they're not.
They're old, boring, used up re-runs.
Go off and make more posts showing how so very jealous you are of not
being able to post on the moderated pond group anymore.
That's your real problem, however, you do all of this other bull****
instead of just coming out of the closet and saying so.
You're ticked because they won't let you post anymore at the pond
group.
Go on.....try it.
You're a big boy now.

It's probably a bristlenose. If so it's a Ancistrus not a Plecostomus
Ancistrus will live for up to 20 years and grow to about 6" while
Plecostomus will live much longer and grow up to two foot. Ancistrus
will breed under rocks in an aquarium and can produce hundreds of
young. Plecostomus breed in river banks so there is not much hope of
seeing them spawn in a tank.

Whoever started calling bristlenose a pleco caused a lot of confusion.
They are very different.

Yes it's a Ancistrus

Thanks all for the answer. So 8 years so far isn't nothing. It's the
oldest fish I've ever had.
