Albino butterfly bushynose pleco?

[Chasnkevin4ever]

Does anyone have any experience with this albino butterfly busynose pleco? I'm thinking about getting one!

Methinks you mean longfin ABN? They're pretty commonly available, generally hardy fish, won't bother much of anything other than rival male BN. They do eat algae all their lives (unlike the common pleco) and should be fed veggies a couple times weekly. I use canned green beans, they sink on their own and are gone by the next day.

If you mean longfin albino bristlenose pleco I have one. It's only a baby about an inch and I love him! I have heard the longfins are a little bit more sensitive than the shortfins though. Something nipped the tail off my poor little guy but it's growing back slowly. I have 5 bnp altogether. I feed them peas, green beans, bloodworms, brine shrimp, shrimp pellets, algae wafers, fish flakes and what ever else the other fish might get.

Ya, people come up with all sorts of names for fish hoping to make them sell better (particularly pet stores) then jack the price up. You can certainly find the same fish for less $ elsewhere. With FedEx shipping from PA 1 fish from thatpetplace will cost you about $50. You can get 5 of them on aquabid shipped Priority Mail from NC for $53.
Do you have barbs or other fish that will chew up those long fins?

No it's going in tank with guppies and Bolivian ram. Where could I get one cheaper, I'm all about saving money. I got two kids, I need the extra money lol!
