yeh, how long are you keeping it for, i had a common pleco, yes common, lfs said it takes them agggeeesss to grow big, stupid me i believed her...lol Very messy, so i gave him back.

I think you shouls still do daily water changes of 15%

EDIT: typo 15% not 75 lol,, dats too much!

well, yeah i sppose, but it would be fab if you can give it a cave or something, even like a plastic bottle cut like a cave, oh n if you have a spawning mop, you can add that.

that's a true albino bristlenose, female as no bristles.
They won't eat gravel, they aint that supid. That's a very good albino bristlenose.
