Bn vs rubber lip pleco

[Nu-Nu the eel]

Thanks for your opinions!

Never seen a rubber lip before but I think male BN plecos are cool. I have a female in my tank.

BN plecs are pretty cool, I believe rubberlips are the same as pitbulls (can anyone correct me on that?) and need to be in a trio.

You can get BNs at any fish store, they're pretty common, they're starting to sell albinos at Petco.

I've got one from an animal expo and the one I have now came from a local mom and pop store.
Rubberlips also get bigger than BN so tank size may limit which one you may get. Rubberlips are the same as pitbulls I believe ( I googled 'em).

Go to the Aquarium Advice Classified. Toddnbecka has bn plecos for sale. I'm getting 3 calicos.

No. The ones I'm getting are juvies and with shipping it's $24. He also has breeding pairs which of course are more. He has pictures and they are all so cute. Check it out. I'm pretty new to AA and just happened to come across him in the classifieds.
