Common Plecos.... Or Bristlenose? Think I got lucky!!!

I think you are correct, the first 3 pics look like a BN and the last one looks like a sailfin.

The prices aren't that different around here. A common goes for about $2.99, Sailfin about $5.99 and a BN about $6.99

sailfins are for all intensive purposes common plecos these days.

LFS Girl tried to tell me that Albino Bristlenose Plecos were very rare and that she hadn't seen them in their store for over 2 years. When I asked why they were marked at $19.99 a piece at 2". I walked over to the owner and asked him right in front of her and he was like. We just had a batch in last week for $5.99 a pop. Her face was priceless.

How about this, today I will go back to my store and buy a common and a bristlenose and try and take some really high quality pictures (not for certain how i will do that yet with a iphone)

But either way I can be happy about getting bristlenoses for 3 bucks comeon! Just think in a year how much would a 6 inch bristlenose go for compared to a 6 inch common... some one on here has to think thats cool (or maybe im a nerd for plecos )

Don't worry I'm a nerd for pleco's too. I highly doubt that your bristlenoses will be 6 inches in a year, but they'll still be worth more, even if the common and sailfins are much bigger!

If they start selling Orangecheek Pleco's as commons, PM me.

WOW...that much?...I ended up having to kill bunch of mine last year because nobody wanted them and I had no room to raise them. Even when I said free, nobody interested.
