Relevant Information:	It is extremely difficult to identify many of this genera unless there is  substantial location  information.  The Common Bristlenose has been bred and  distributed in many countries  and as such is hard to ascribe to species.
Breeding:	Can be bred in a community tank but you will not get the high numbers of fry  that a  breeding tank will be able to produce. The fry will be left alone once  they are free  swimming.  They will have white edges to the dorsal and caudal  fins but this trait will  subside until the older juveniles will only sport this  colouration on the top tip of the  caudal  fin.
Common Name:	Common Bristlenose Catfish
Synonyms:	None
Family:	Loricariidae ycipitidae
Distribution:	South America and captive bred.
Size:	14.0cm. (5½ins)
Temp:	23-27°c (73-81°f.)
p.H.	6.0-7.5.
