Okay, I'm going to attempt to post pics here.

That didn't work, can anyone tell me why? Here's the link:

I have a lovely albino bristlenose pleco. He is very beautiful ( "he" is a "him", I guess since he is growing lots of bristles on his nose) and a very efficient little algae eater.
Being cute AND a good algae eater is about as good as you can get. Oh, and very peaceful, too!
I also have several rubber lipped plecos. Got them at Petsmart (or, ich-mart as we all know), but they have all been healthy and peaceful. I do not think they are GREAT at cleaning up the tank, but they do not get too big and are not aggressive.
I also have two starry night plecos in the Qtank right now. They are real beauties! Really cute little guys with bristle-ie noses and tiny spots all over, plus a white rim on their sail and tail.
I do not know if they will be aggressive as they age, or not, but they are REALLY pretty little plecos, so we will see. They also stay small. I read that they only come out at night, but I have been able to tempt them out during "lights on" with some freshly blanched zuchini!

That's one beautiful fish! We actually found one of these at an LFS, but it's quite expensive, and we don't have the space for it.

Just tag it like this: [img]post%20your%20link%20here[/img]
