Albino Bristlenose Pleco

[RyanU]

I was wondering if anybody knows or has experience with an Albino Bristle Nose eating Brown Algea(Diatom).

 

Thank You in advance

Yep, they'll eat it quite easily on any flat surface once settled in.

Plecos in my experience prefer mature mats of algae. Any of the surface algaes I would go for a snail crew.

 

My bristlenose specifically usually didn't eat much of the beard algae I let grow, but he did eat driftwood and hikari algae wafers with gusto. 

 

Well there you have it! I suppose I had picky eaters on my hands

Thanks for the reply. I was also looking at some Otto's as i have  lot of little nooks and crannies in some the the décor. Would them being smaller work better in my scenario. I can scrub it off the glass when i do water changes so the glass wont be an issue its just the tight spaces of the decor and plants that i cant get to.
