Hi all, just purchased my first ever group of tiny little long-finned albino bristlenosed plecos. The intention is to grow them out and breed them because they sell like hot cakes but Ive never kept plecos before and wanted to make sure I did it right.
I tossed the group of them who are all about an inch long into a 15 gallon with glass covered in green algae. I know they'll pick off leftover food from the other fish as well but should the algae provide them with enough to be the bulk of their diet? Id rather have them cleaning the algae out of my tanks than buy algae wafers at the store.
I also wanted to know how long they can wait before they need driftwood to much on? Chances are I'll grab some tomorrow anyways, but if not will they be ok without it for a month or two or three?
Lastly, just to see if my buy was good, how common are long finned albino bristlenoses around you?
Thanks!

>. The 15 gal isnt their permanent home, just a growing on tank for a little bit which I chose because of its dense algae. Going to be moving 2 hrs away in under a month so it didnt really matter where I put them since all my fish will be moving soon. Theyre still tiny though.
