So, I was told these were albino plecos by two workers at the LFS, but another worker said that they're bristlenoses. They all said that they would only get to be about 4 inches. And they sold the parents of my fish to a local guy who breeds them, so I think that the guy who said the are bristlenoses was wrong because he's newer there...

However, a user in another online community said they might be rubber-lipped plecos.

Here are some pictures...

You can get an idea about how big the pleco is by comparing it to the thermometer and gravel. If that is a 4" pleco each piece of gravel would be about an 1/2-1". I would guess the pleco is 1 1/2" to 2".
 
Good catch w/ the thermometer. At that size, if it has no bristles what so ever, I would say female. If it has a few small ones, it may end up being a male.
