Found my first baby in the tank too I have 2 rubberlip plecos 1 clown 3 abn females 1 abn male 1bn female and this male in an all pleco tank 29 gallons had eggs a little over a week ago but they were all over the tank so i didn't think anything would come of them i need to vac tank badly but have been waiting just in case also noticed the parrot fish i posted for id last week spawned i moved them to a smaller tank and they spawned in a flowerpot im soooo excited. The second pic of the power head is of the fry . pics 4 and 5 are suppose to be rubberlip plecos from petsmart. they dont look alot alike but the one with spots is real small.sam

I think the reason nobody responded is because they didn't know how to respond to your question. You asked to id the pleco then showed pictures of 3 different pleco's and then ID'd yourself them. Which Pleco do you need a ID on? Not to mention it's like one huge run on sentence that you talked about other fish as well. Just a couple sentences. Which fish do you need a id on?

Sorry I'm not an english major. I would like to know what kind of bn pleco is in pic one. Pic 3 and 4 are rubberlip plecos from petsmart. Thanks so much I'll work on the sentence thing.

Looks to me like a normal bristlenose catfish. The same species as your albino except the without the albino gene. Here is more information on it. Looks like some in the pictures, if not you can wonder around in there, lots of great info. But I would say it is this.

I didn't mean to be rude about you grammer. I was just explaining why some people who wanted to help could have skipped over it being confused. This forum is a great place with lots of people to help. Sometimes it just needs a bump back to the top like your reply to your own thread saying nevermind. If you would have just left it I wouldn't have seen it and been able to help.

lol, yeah "bump" is just short for bump to the top. Because any comment or reply in a thread sends it to the top so other people see it without needing to dig through pages.

Nice plecos. Sorry that no one responded to you earlier. We really are nice people here, once we figure out what we're being asked. I especially like the male BN. Great barbels!

Yep. just looks like the common A. temmincki to me, though I'm no pleco expert.

Picture 1 is just a common brown bristlenose. Common browns can vary in coloration and pattern. Picture 2 is a common bristlenose, not a rubbernose. Picture 3 is a rubbernose. And picture 5 is most likely a young rubbernose. It seems to be marked correctly for a young rubbernose. Congrats on the fry! Post a clearer picture of the fry when you can.
