Very easy to tell males from females in the bristol nose family. The males will have a beard/mowhawk and the females will have a 5 o'clock shadow. The albinos are the same but seem to grow the beards slower. the Albino males will have a redish pink spot on the head. Breeding these plecos is fairly simple , 2 males to one female (breeding trio). Don't forget the algae wafers and a piece of driftwood. Plecos will snack on the wood if no algae is available.Going to the LFS to pick up a baby bristlenose pleco. They're about 1 1/2-2" long.
Not sure if I want an albino or a regular. We've always had regulars. Knowing me I'll probably come home with the smallest one in the bunch, whatever it may be.
Thinking of names. Stayed tuned to find out which one I bring home LOL
We had a very large female bristlenose a few years ago...and now we have a male bristlenose. I'll have to check out these guysVery easy to tell males from females in the bristol nose family.

I actually got it the ratio wrong ablove. 2 males one female is a reverse trio (harder) and a breeding trio is 1 male 2 females.We had a very large female bristlenose a few years ago...and now we have a male bristlenose. I'll have to check out these guys
