About Super Red Bristlenose

Super Red is a selectively bred colour line of the common Bristlenose, showing a vivid orange-red body instead of the usual brown/grey. Just as hardy and easy-going as the standard form, it's a striking bottom-dwelling algae grazer and a popular tankmate for a Tanganyikan community.
