Maybe it's me, but the link doesn't seem to work

The link appears to work for me, but the pictures are nearly useless. It does look like a common bristlenose, but I know that only because of the overall shape and the white tips of the fins - which isn't exactly unique in the bristlenose world.

Some cameras do that, sometimes because you try to take photos too close, or simply because of the aim of the camera vs. it's autofocus sensors. On a camera with lots of megapixels, moving back a foot or two may help. On low-megapixel (less than 4-5MP) cameras, there is no substitute for getting it right, unfortunately.

Many cameras have a macro-mode (aka "close-up mode", most often indicated by a flower symbol), which sets the camera to focus on close-up objects. If there is no such setting and the camera is low megapixel and it can't focus on a small coin and nearly fill the picture, it's probably a good idea to try to find another camera.

As to the fish moving whilst being photographed, there is no substitute for patience and persistance...

check your camera for a three photo burst setting as well. helps with moving targets. it takes three photos in a row every time you push the button to take a picture

Yes, of course, with luck you get the second or third picture. Bad luck, and it will take several dozens. Average for me is about 12 pictures before I get a good one.

I'm only 99% sure your Bushy Nose is a common Ancistrus cf cirrhosus.
With so many casual breeders it is not rare these days for many small specimens being sold at as little as 3/4 inches. 1-1/4" is a better size unless you obtain the smaller specimens not long after the shop receive them. Many shops do not know how great the need for a constant food supply is for these smaller specimens of plecos.
