Albino bristlenose plecostomus.

Just curious, but would an albino bristlenose pleco be good for a 30 gallon aquarium? They have some at petco for like $3 apiece right now, and I was thinking about getting one.

Yes. Bristlenoses are the few types of Plecos that don't get over a foot long. lol. They only get to about 4-5 inches. That's really a good deal for an albino though. Get it, get it!! You might want to get rid of the Common Pleco though. They are mean and can get over a foot long.

Ya I was planning on getting rid of the common one once I knew the other one is going to live.

 

[Kiara1125]

lol, since it's four inches you can sell it to your lfs for a good price. Maybe $3-$5??

No, they won't buy them back. I might give it to my uncle who has a 30 gal. tank with no algae eater.

Do see that the bristlenose get's some vegetable matter in addition to any algae that may be present.
Things like cucumber,zuchinni,romain lettuce,sweet potatoe,and sweet red bell pepper are a few vegetables that the fish would enjoy and will do poorly without over the long haul.
Occasional meaty foods like pieces of frozen shrimp and blood worms, along with flakes or pellets that your other fish receive will also be enjoyed

Ya they get plenty of those. I also have algae wafers.
