Bristlenose Plec

[Straydum]

i was wondering, young bns dont have the bristles infront, so how can u differentiate them from normal plecs of the same size?

i did. and there wasnt really much difference for juvenile bn and juvenile common plecs. any other methods?

i have found from past experience with both that commons were darker than BNs, bns are more milk chocolate colour to me and commons more dark if you get what i mean, just what i have found in my LFS

Juvi bn's (the common sp3's anyways) have white tips on the dorsal, but they are actually quite different looking overall imo
