I think they have to be four inches to get their bristles but it doesn't take to long.

Just want to add in, some of them begin bristle growth early. I have a 2.5" Calico bristlenose pleco, and he's developing his bristles already (each are about 1mm-3mm long)

Some will also develop late, especially if there is a very dominant male around
