My LFS has 2 of them and they are very small, less than 2 inches long. There are no bristles on them that I could see at all. They looked little little gray white plecos. I could not see any distinguishing marks on them that would tell me they were albino.
From the pictures I would say that they are not Bristlenose and they aren't albino either. This could just be from the pictures but they look nothing like any albino I have ever seen and at 3-4 inches they should have distinct barbels already. Might be a different species of albino but I don't know.
Check those images out and see if they even come close. I could not find a BN that matches your pictures.
The 3 BN plecos I had in the past were under 3 inches when I got them, 2 males and 1 female and they had very distinct bristles already and were very easy to distinguish male from female.
That looks like something I've seen at petsmart. They were about 4-5" each, labeled as "chocolate albino" plecos, or some variation of that term. I don't know it that's an actual species, but I hope that helps.
any pics. and the chocolate albino there doesn't look anything like mine. i think there was a farowella in one of the tanks at my lfs i'll search it up. Any more ideas. any shrimp or anything?
Is this for the 55g? If so, get two bristlenose plecs. More kuhli loaches are needed. Always keep every species of loach at a minimum number of 3. They should not be deprived of their company.
sorry if the question was answered already but im convinced that ive got one albino bristlenose pleco (and possibly another brown one) my albino is getting its bristles and its only 1 inch, if everyone is saying 3-4 inchs does that mean that i dont have a bristlenose?
