Id on pleco

[Darylb]

Hey was just wondering what you think my pleco might be I just want a second opinion as I got sold them as bristle nose plecos they are about an inch long

 

[NYgiantsRP]

Yup...seems fine to me, the old busy nose.

 

[Darylb]

Thanks do u know how long it takes for them to grow to there full size?

 

[NYgiantsRP]

I had one that grew to about 4" in about a year. Now I have an albino for over a year, and its only 3"

 

[Darylb]

Aw okay so really just depends on the fish from what I have read a lot of people have albino ones that grow slow

 

[NYgiantsRP]

I couldn't tell from the pictures, do you have driftwood?

 

[Darylb]

Oh I don't have an albino and yea I have drift wood in my tank

 

[NYgiantsRP]

Good, they need it, usually they will spend most of the day on it. Then come out lurking around in the night like the caped crusader.

Haha they are axing to watch move looking at them they look like slow swimmers but they move bloody fast

Yeah. They're little so-an-sos to try and catch!

The guy who I bought mine off had them in a 10 gallon like the mum the dad and all the babies he had 2 lots of fry in there he caught them fairly easy but yea I'd have a hell of a time with a 20 gal
