Too cute in my opinion. Some of you might think it's kinda creepy.

More great shots!

Are all your females albino as well?

LOL, thanks guys, I am glad you see the humor in this shot. My husband thought I should photoshop my face into the pleco's mouth so it would look like I was wearing a pleco suit. Weird huh?

Angela, all my bn plecos are albino. I am hoping some are females. It is looking that way so far.

I know I said females get fatter...

But in the beginning, when they're still juvies... I find that the females have a thinner head. Like a more pointy like... Triangular... And the males have wider broader heads...

So that's where they found all those 1950s drive in movie monsters.

Hi, I'm new here. I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks bushy nose plecos are adorable. My guys name is Mr. Clean-absolutely my favorite fish. I'm picking up a girlfriend or two for him today. Great pic.

Welcome to the forum, I am glad you like my picture. I knew I wasn't weird. I have six of the little guys and am hoping for a pair soon. I hear once they get started they don't stop and soon you are overrun with baby bn plecos.

I'm really excited, I have a reverse trio of albinos, and I have 2 female regulars, I've got a male that I have to pick up.

Then I've got 5 or 6 calicos that are just starting to get big enough to think about breeding.

I picked up 2 more regular 20 gallon tanks that I'd like to use for breeding tanks. Wish they were longs, but I couldn't resist the price... LOL!

That is too cool! One of my young albino bn plecos is actually white. Not the pretty orange albino with red eyes, but white with red eyes. Apparently it is not a strong variation because it is half the size of the others. It sure is pretty though. Maybe I will post a photo.

He it is. I couldn't get a good photo. For some reason my camera refused to focus on it.

That's really neat!

I have a little one that is almost yellow... Most of mine are kind of a creamy or offwhite color.

Nature is really neat... Even non nature is cool. I've been trying to read an article about hybrids, but I keep getting interupted, haven't gotten through it yet...

Maybe everyone will go to sleep soon... LOL!

WOW!!!

The picture hadn't posted yet when I posted mine.

That photo is AWESOME! I've NEVER seen one of like that!!!

Wonder if it'll breed? That'd be a super cool gene to keep.

Have you talked to anyone else that has one like it?

Is it big enough to sex yet?

Thanks, I have no idea if it will breed. I cannot sex it yet. Strangely it is only 1.5 inches while its sibs are 2 or more. I do think it would be neat to breed solid white albinos though.

People would want them.

People always want things that are different.

I'd hold on to that baby for all I was worth!
