Anyone own bristlenose (bushynose) plecos? I am interested in adding one to my newly cycled 30 gallon. Anyone have ph of 8.0 or higher and have one of these guys? My ph is 8.2. I'm thinking it's possible to have one in my tank, just as long as I take a long while to acclimate him. :) Thanks for any info!

I know, they are starting to swim around a bit more now to. The otos also seem happier, hopefully they'll get to work eventually ont he algae on the front of my tank... although I'm sure there's a bit on the driftwood in there to. I don't want to scrub it off the front yet, but I don't want it to be there forever either.
