🐟 Super Red Longfin Bristlenose Pleco (Ancistrus sp. L144)

Freshwater Peaceful Bottom-Dwelling Algae Grazer • Genuine Deep Red-Orange Coloration • Long, Flowing Fins • Premium Show Strain

 

📋 The Super Red Longfin Bristlenose Pleco genuinely combines two distinct traits: an intense, deep red-orange body coloration, and the longfin trait, which produces genuinely elongated, flowing fins compared to standard short-finned bristlenose strains. Worth knowing upfront: the "L144" designation is genuinely one of the most contested in the pleco-numbering system — the true original line traced to a single golden-mutation fish from a 1990s shipment that has since died out, and modern stock carries a different lineage.

Like all bristlenose plecos, this is a genuinely hardy, peaceful, and highly effective algae grazer, remaining considerably more compact than common plecos, with the combination of intense color and flowing fins making it a genuinely premium show-quality strain.

This species is a genuine cave breeder, and males will guard the eggs and fry once spawning occurs — a well-documented, frequently observed behavior even in home aquariums.
