Good addition to a community tankBristlenose catfish are great addition to any tank and are highly recommended for any tropical community tank, where they help in keeping the inside of tanks clean by eating algae off all surfaces. They will tend to hide during the day amongst plants or under rocks etc but become more active at night when they feed. They should be provided with hiding places in the form of caves, hollow logs etc. Pairs will often spawn if well maintained in community tanks and provided with hiding places. Bristlenose like flowing water and the addition of a powerhead is often beneficial for this species.
