    Hi,

    I have a few bristlenose plecos. Normal, not albino. Any interest?

    Thanks,

    Sorry don't have, I have a male albino longfin though. I am hoping that I will get a female someday.

    I have about 10 albino normal fins that I am growing out to breed with him. They are currently 45-50mm so want to keep him.

    Its an idea. I want to cross, then see if I get any long fins (or longer than normal) out. Then use them to breed with the dad again. Try to strengthen the long fins by selective breeding.

    I'd be interested in the ones you're selling. I just need a chance to set up the QT. Can you wait a week?

    Did you breed them yourself?

    Hi Jenn,

    Just let me know how many to keep. I did not breed them myself. I have bred them in the past though.

    Regards,
