    Default Bristle Nose and Acrylic Tanks

    Came across postings lately about Pleco's and Acrylic tanks. Is it possible for a BN to chew up or scratch up the inside of the tank? I don't want mine to get harmed from doing so, and would love to hear from the BN keepers out there on this.

    No.

    I've had mine in an acrylic tank for over a year now. No problems for him or the tank. Acrylic may not be as hard as glass, but it's not like it's butter either.

    Was thinking the statement about them was bogus. Came across it, while looking for any other algae eaters I haven't seen before. I've only had them for like a week. It's a pair of 2"ers, so when I saw this; was thinking if true--why I wasn't warned. I got them from someone who knows I have acrylic.
