2 Questions:

1) has anyone ever purchased from these folks?
2) is a bushy nose different than bristle nose?

I really want a bristle nose. They are hard to come by in New Orleans. I may ask my LFS to order me one for my 55 gallon. If they cant get them I was thinking about looking here.

1. No, I have never purchased anything from them.

2. Yes, a bushynose pleco and a bristlenose pleco are the exact same thing, just different names.

I haven't purchased anything from that site, but I have purchased BNs from Aquabid. You might want to check out that site also. I was very pleased with my purchase.

I have to agree - aquabid is the way to go.. bought a couple from there for cheap. If you dont mind the baby version of these plecos, its pretty cheap on aquabid. Mine were about 1 inch. Now all of them are very close to 2 inches.

Hey pug person - do youreally have a pet pug. I was thinking about getting one in the near future. Had a mutt before, very very active (now looking for a calmer dog)

Yes, Bushy Nose & Bristle Nose are the same fish.
They are lovely fish & keep Algae under control.

Hehe I picked one up on accident. I managed to find a chocolate long finned BN. I thought my wife was just being a girl. After spending hours trying to identify it I was thrilled..
