	size of dwarf bristle nose pleco?
pugperson Fish Addict Posts: 877 Kudos: 953 Votes: 293 Registered: 16-May-2003	I have a quick question for the experts. Saw on aqua bid dwarf bristlenose plecos. I know on the profiles it states that regular bristlenoses can grow up to 12cm, of 4.7 inches. My question is, how big do the dwarfs get? Also has anyone had experience with them?

They say the males get up to 5" long on average. My male is about 5 1/2" long IMO they can get between 5-6". I have never seen an actual "dwarf bristle nose" that is shorter than the regualar bristle nose species...the species itself is considered "dwarf". Also, my female is only about 4" long full grown. Hope this helps!
