Just found my albino scaling a branch on a piece of wood in my tank. Really funny to watch as she was sort of shimmying up it like a mast!
(excuse the terrible photo. Hideous amount of reflection!)

Better to be safe than sorry isn't it.

Cool photo, my male is not very active at all during the day. I need to make him some more hiding spots.
The only problem I have with BN's is they cost an arm and a leg compared to my other fish. I paid $15 for mine.

Cheers. I get so much reflection during the day, it male photos real difficult. I paid £15 each for mine, but over here they are amongst the less expensive Pleco.
My LFS has a golden nugget & a magnum which are £95 & £65 respectively. Zebra's go for between £75-£150. Serious money, but I am really tempted to look into a Zebra

I see this is a male, because its bristles .. I mean, I am not a professional or anything, but as far as I know, only men on their entire face of the brush. While women only his lips near the bristles...

I saw a very lovely sunshine pleco in a magazine the other day.. can honestly say I'd never seen them before. I'd love one, but can barely get bristlenose around here, even! I looked up the sunshine and they go for about $60! Good lord!

A new pic of one of my BN Pleco.
Just the most lovely fish. I think I'm turning into a real Pleco addict

Thanks. They are really entertaining with each other, especially at feeding time. The colours on both my BN's seem to be really coming out as time goes on.

Out of my fish I'd have to say they hold a very special place in my heart. Wonderful, quirky & often really entertaining
