Soothing Shrimp Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 Very neat. I know some white animals turn yellowish, but agree with Louie that since this stays white it really will be quite striking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wicca32 Posted May 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 this is what im betting it will look like when adult. with luck it will stay whiter though this is what most albino bristlenose look like (note color difference hehe) Louie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted May 17, 2014 Report Share Posted May 17, 2014 That is quite the difference! Louie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louie Posted May 18, 2014 Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 Oh those are nice whites but the yellow isn't bad. I am partial to the head of the bristlenose male as find it very neat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wicca32 Posted May 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 just about anything ive seen them with all kinds of fish and parameters. here is a link to planet catfish with info http://www.planetcatfish.com/common/species.php?species_id=49 i googled and it says temp 74-79° F, KH 6-10, pH 6.5-7.4 about the only think i have not seen them in a tank with was african cichlids. i had mine in temp of about 70 when i was in ky and the only thing i noticed was it took the eggs a little over a week to hatch due to temp being low but they did hatch and some lived. it was also the first time i had babies from them so might just have been new parents Louie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louie Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 Looking at that link, They keep some very rare catfish in that forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wicca32 Posted May 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 yes they do. a friend of mine specializes in more rare plecos and cories. he does pretty great with them too. most of the more rare ones need warmer water and more protein so i tend to stay away from those as i keep more neutral water when it comes to temp and what not Louie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louie Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 Wicca, I remember when Miami had a freak long lasting cold spell some years ago . Think it was Jan . You would see floating common plecos in most canals and one person found a large gold nugget pleco in a golf course pond not far from here . , They common plecos have rebounded in the last few years but the nugget was the only unusual pleco I have ever seen in any body of water here.
