i was at my neighbors and he said he had a pleco that was gettin picked on and asked if i would take it since it was expensive and didnt want it to die. i think its a albino bushy nose pleco. i took a couple pics i will post them later when i have more time.
 
after looking at some pics i found out that it is indeed a bushy nose
 
ya im gonna post them i gotta put new batteries in my camera they should be up by later tonight or tomorrow.
 
Take him they are great algae eaters.I dont know about expensive though Ive seen them go as high as $30 for a big male
 
Usually they aren't too expensive relative to other plecos, but relative to a goldfish, yeah they are pretty pricey.
 
ya he said it was like 30 or so i dont remeber. it is a very kool looking fish. very happy to get him/her for free too
 
Wow!! some suspence il wait for the picture!!! :D
 
Watch for aggression still. Bristlenose plecos can be very aggressive, I had one a long time ago kill a pleco that was twice his size. as well as several other bottom dwellers.

Sir!! as you are saying Bristlenose plecos are more aggressive than other plecos? So do you advice us to solo the pleco??? :confused:
