Brown Bristlenose Ancistrus These fish range in size from about 1.75" up to over 2". �You are bidding on ONE fish with the option to to buy more at the winning bid price. �Although there are a few obvious males, I am selling these as unsexed and will be chosing the fish randomly. Randomly means I am not taking requests for "a few females" or pairs or trios.
Photo was taken 8/9/11 and shown are some of the fish for sale in this auction. �At the time of this listing I have roughly 20 of these. �However if you want more 8 - 10, it might be a good idea to email before bidding to make sure I still have the quantity you want. �
�
�
These fish are big enough to be sturdy and are suitable for most tankmates. �They are well past the stage where they need more than one feeding a day so need no special care beyond the normal dietary needs of bristlenose. �And of course they will eagerly scour soft algae from your tank! �Again, these are unsexed fish ~1.75" to over 2" and will be caught randomly.
Bristlenose really appreciate a choice of several caves and males will establish territories. �A diet rich in fiber including fresh veggies, such as zucchini, green beans, peas and collard greens is required. �Driftwood for them to rasp on is advised and will provide additional fiber and aid digestion. �A high protein diet without enough fiber can cause serious problems. �These fish will mature to about 4", with extremes of 3" to 5". �Plan on a MINIMUM of 10 gallons per fish at adult size.
Ideal temps are mid 70s, do not keep these fish over 80F. �Seriously, these fish are fine at 65F but struggle with temps in the 80s. �I don't care what you have read saying otherwise.
If your average high temps are in the mid 80s or higher, email with zip for shipping costs before bidding. I will not ship these Priority if your highs will be 85F or higher and Next Day shipping can be VERY expensive.
Here are the answers to the five most common questions I get.
- Can these fish be sexed? they are being sold as unsexed
- Do you have pairs or females for sale? no
- Do you have any larger fish available? maybe, see other auctions
- Do you have longfins? NO
- Do you allow local pick up? SORT OF, read this: Local Pickup

Term details are on my Just Me page. �Please read it before bidding. �A copy of these terms is also included in this auction as commented out text and can be viewed by looking at the page source. �Please do not bid if you cannot pay AND accept delivery promptly. �The only reason I delay shipment is weather.
Payment is by PayPal only, no e-checks.
When paying with PayPal, you must include the address you wish the package sent to.
Priority Mail is $15 (up to 5 fish) which includes a well insulated box. �The fish will be triple bagged with traditional 2 mil fish bags. USPS Hold for Pickup is available. I also offer USPS Express and UPS Air. �I will only ship with a guaranteed Next Day service to locations with highs over 85F, no exceptions. The costs ($30 - $80+) will exceed the cost of the fish so email for a cost estimate before bidding. �"Which should I choose?" LINK
LAG is unconditional with Next Day delivery, 3 days if >50F and <80F. �Bad weather either here or there will delay shipment.
Some of my other auctions may be combined with this for savings on shipping costs.
Thanks for looking and GOOD LUCK!
