Bulldog Pleco (Chaetostoma cf. thomasi)

The bulldog pleco was one of my best fish choices I have made. I like the unsual face and how it adjust to its surroundings. I swear I have seen it change from a dark shade to a lighter shade when I turn the light on in the morning. This interesting fish will charge another fish if they go into its cave at feeding time. My bulldog pleco has staked out a wooden log for its "cave." I am glad I chose this fish while they had it at Petsmart.

This fish is also known as the Widemouth Pleco. I've found it for $5 while Clown Plecos and Bristlenose Plecos are going for up to $20-25 in the same store. Good value on a small pleco!

This is a great fish. I purchased two for my 120gallon and they are always busy cleaning the tank of algea, and they dont harm my plants. They are commonly sold in my area as a rubber mouth pleco.

This is a great fish. Although little, it definitely holds its own against larger fish. Mine is in with a large regular pleco, a bushynose, a clown pleco and a 5" red tail shark. It gets a little angry when the other fish gets too close to its spot and chase them away.

Great small pleco. We call them rubbernose or rubberlip plecos around here. The LFS i work at sells them for very cheap. Almost as cheap as a reg. pleco.
Better for algae control than the larger normal pleco. Seem to be slightly more prone to ich than most fish. (luckily freshwater ich is really easy to remedy)
