A selectively bred variant of the common Bristlenose Pleco (Ancistrus genus), developed in captivity for its intense red-orange coloration.
Typically grows to 4–5 inches. Needs a 20+ gallon tank with driftwood, hiding spots, and stable water parameters.
Peaceful and hardy. Feeds on algae, sinking wafers, blanched vegetables, and occasional protein-rich snacks. Best kept solo or with non-aggressive tankmates.
