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. 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.
