Intro And A Question!

[LilFishMomma]

HI everyone! I've had fish for quite some time now ranging from platies, betas, guppies, and goldfish. Today, however, I was given a pleco and was told it was a bristlenose. I'm new to plecos and am not sure if it's actually a bristlenose or if they really gave me a common pleco. It was just dropped off at my dorm and if it is a common, I'm not so sure I have the tank size to keep up with it's needs. Could someone help me identify the type of pleco I have? Thanks! (Also, the bowl it's inside of in the is what I was given it in. I would never keep a fish in a dark bowl!)

This does look like a female BN, they need roughly 30USG.

Thanks so much! I thought it might be a female, but I wasn't sure and wanted to make sure before I gained too much of an attachment to her and found out she was a common
