Pleco ID please

Lol...who the heck sold you that as an “L052 albino butterfly pleco”!? Talk about a creative name...cracks me up and makes me upset at the same time. Hope you didn’t pay too much.

It’s just a fairly common albino longfin bristlenose pleco...care is same as standard fin brown ones if that’s what you’re asking and they will grow just as large but with longer fins, obviously. They look pretty amazing when full grown. Bristles will become more noticeable at 2.5” SL and above.

Don't worry haha I got them both for 10$ I Was pretty hyped when i saw them, its the first Time I saw long finned albino plecos si i had to get Them even if i don't knew exactly what it Was

I had a breeding pair of albino bristlenose plecos a while back and the male was 6 inches and the female was 5 inches so they can get to the same size as normal colored bristlenose plecos.

Thanks! Do you Still have pictures of them ?

Sadly no as I never thought to take pictures of them.

And how big would they get ? Just like a normal bristlenose or since they are a long fin and albino it Makes them stay a bit smaller ? And usually at what size would the bristles Start to appear ?

it is all the same they just grow slower

That's a fair price! Enjoy them! I'm not personally a fan of albinos, BUT, those long fin albinos are crazy cool to look at.
