Male Bristlenose Plecos will get their bristles when they reach sexual maturity (about 2-3 years old, and 7-8 cm/ 3) male albino bristlenose plecos will probably grow larger bristles than a regular a bristlenose. and females will have none to very few bristle around the chin and lip.

Also people have the notion that they need a pleco for their tanks not realizing that the common pleco can get to be over 20 inches long. Lots of pet shops will sell common plecos to people that only have 10 gallon tanks and that is not right for the fish. I think that more pet shops should sell otto cats (only get to be about 2 inches long) or bushy mouth plecos (many species only the larger ones only get to be about 7 inches long).
