I just got an albino bristlenose pleco and a regular bristlenose pleco, they are both only about 1 1/2 inches long. I want to know how fast they will grow because some fish grow reslly fast and some grow really slow.:)
 
All depends on person caring for it. I have one too!! He is just a inch and swims a lot! ( got him 2 weeks ago) I heard (don't know about true part) that it depends on how often you do PWCS.

That's interesting and good to know! :) do you think that applies to larger catfish when they're young?

I don't know really. Could apply to all fish but I don't know. Also depends on tank size for growth.
 
I have them in a 55g and i try to do weekly PWCs. I am also going to buy some algae wafers soon and food those every other day
 
I think they will have a happy home in your tank :) weekly water changes should be sufficient .. along with drift wood!

I got my longfin BN 2weeks ago :) they are wonderful!
