Great looking plecos! About what size are the babies? And is shipping included in the $14 per fish price?

 

[pinkertd]

They are almost 3 months old, about 1.5". USPS shipping is not included.

They're so pretty!!! what would the outcome be of the offspring if i bred one of them with an albino female BN?

Thanks RB! Emptywallet - I don't recommend breeding the L144 to albinos or any other color bristlenose. The offspring they would produce would be "mutts".

There are not a lot of these bristlenose around and I think it's important to keep the strain pure. I've been buying breeding stock over a period of time from different parts of the country to strengthen the genes and keep these guys going.

ahh yes yes yes this is true. just wondering

How big are these plecs when full grown? Do they stay small like regular bristles?

 

[pinkertd]

They are smaller than common brown or albino bristlenoses. About 4" including fins when full grown. They are extremely slow growers and won't reach full adult size until around 18 months.
