I have one pleco that looks to be about 4 or 5 inches. The store owner told me that it as bristle nose but it doesn't have the 'mustache'. I'm not sure if it is male or female. It went 'missing' for about 3 weeks. I'm a night owl so I would check randomly at night, I moved some decorations around but I didn't see it. I also had algae build up on the outside of my tank (for the first time since setting it up) so I assumed my pleco had passed away inside one of the decorations.
Not being able to find my scrub brush, I went out and bought a small Rubber-lip pleco (approx 1.5 inches) and a week later out pops my bristle nose, swimming around like it was never gone.
Are either breeds territorial? Or will they be okay together? and will size be a problem? My tank is 36 gallons.
Edit: I just took a look at my tank and they are both sharing the mouth of my dragon decoration and neither seems bothered by the other but will that last?
