and being plecos...they eat a lot and then they...crap a lot. My first common pleco taught me so much about designing a nice powerful mechanical filter that 16 inch bugger would put any goldfish to shame. Only thing i've kept that does worse is a lungfish but thats only every few days.
i've never seen a pic of an adult chocolate albino....i wonder what they look like...same thing only bigger or something different.

they look like a latte! They don't get the size of a regular ole pleco I'm told....2 friends want these 2, I can get all I want to order for now..........man, they need diapers.

There are three forms of H. Plecostomus. The common coloration, the albino, and the chocolate. Often the common name is blured together. The chocolate does not have a red eye, and the albino does. Chocolates are often misnamed due to their lighter color as they get older.
The Chocolates and the albinos don't have an L#.
Well, I have 2 choco's with med brown color and red eyes and 2 whites I'm going to get, one with a blue and red eye, the other I don't know yet, I told her to try to get me the all blue eyed one. So are the red eyed choco colored alino's or choco's or a freak of nature? Mind you, I now have 5 baby pleco's in my tank, 9.99 each and they don't fit into what you guys describe. I keep Arowana's, not plecos. What is up with these guys and how did I get 5? "Oh, cool, I like that one too, go ahead, toss it in, they're small" can you say tankload of cra&%^%^.
No, 5 pleco babies and no aro's right now, the pleco's have homes (3 of them) I have to take them o the coast. So, where's that Black? Make it a double for that price. I have visions of aro's dancing in my head.
Tell me about it in a 60 gallon tank I have 2-Green Phantoms,1-Flash,2-Royals,1 Three Becon. All I healthy size and go alot. Today I finally found out why they have been going so much latley. My two Blood Parrots Paired up in the gave and the cave hase two groups of eggs.
