    I kept some of the extra nice bn plecos from my last breeding of them, they all carry the albino and long finned gene.
    Here's a little video of them in the discus tank.

    He is the sub dom male in my 90g discus, only the dominant males get the full beard going on.

    wow, he's one pretty pleco - I don't normally care for them (except that zebra one you had - he was amazing) but that long fin really works for them!

    about 1", they come out of the cave at along .75" so that's why I dont let them go till they are 1.5" They need to grow and be less fragile before they go anywhere.
