Remarks: Bushynose, or Bristlenose Plecos, belong to the genus Ancistrus. The common Bushynose Plecos you see available today are likely line-bred from A. cirrhosus. Males will develop long and elaborate tentacles on their faces, though females may develop bristles as well. They come in a variety of color forms. They are mostly non-aggressive, though they may fight for dominance over a specific cave with other Plecos. 

Green Spotted Bushynose (given the name L349) are found in Peruvian waters. They have fine lime-green spots over their head and body, similar to the spots on a Green or Blue Phantom Pleco.
