pleco question. lol this is bothering me

[fishman888888]

Are there different variations of albino BN plecos?
My albino has the same pattern as my silvertip, and came from the same tank at my lfs

Do i have an albino silvertip BN? Or just an albino BN?

Also, is a L144 pleco an albino BN?

Please let me know, if you do ;D

The l144 has black eyes. An albino had red eyes

The orange variation is called super red, L-144 is essentially an albino with black eyes. Never heard of a silvertip, do you mean a brown or black one with white edges on the dorsal and tail fin?. Brown, albino, calico, super red, green dragon, and longfin of any color are all the same species, just selectively bred variants. There's some debate about the L-144, not sure whether it's officially recognized as a different species or not.

I guess the black ones must be the silvertips
Mine are juvis atm, the black one has silver spots all over him, and the albinos also have the same pattern.
