Are the manzanita wide Enough for them to hide under 

[Beardedbillygoat1975]

Depends, old growth pieces and roots tend to be big enough and they can hide in and around it usually no problem. Depends on the type of pleco as well. Bristlenose I’ve never had an issue.

yup, bristlenose arent too picky about hiding. now a clown pleco wants to hide in or under wood. all the plecos ive had never seemed to have a huge preference for type of wood. mopani, malaysian, or plain old hardwood driftwood, they nibble on it all. spider wood, and cholla wood seem to not get a lot of attention from them though.

Spider wood and cholla are helpful for babies but not adults. My BN fry are presently residing in about 4 pieces of seasoned cholla wood. Once they get to a couple inches and can’t fit into the piece of cholla they ignore them.

I have used manzanita, mopani and large thick grapevine with adult and baby bristlenose.  They do fine on all but the grapevine was a clear preference, the mopani second and manzanita last.
