I noticed today that my female Bristlenose Pleco is getting spots. I attached a pic but they didnt appear as much as they look in person. I have seen the different "colors and patterns" that Bristles can get but I am wondering if they are just colors strains and going to affect their breeding. Thanks.

Most Ans sp 3 have spots. It's totally normal. They will fade in and out depending on the fish's mood, health, ect.

Do not be worried. You have all Ancistrus sp 3 aka the common BN they will breed true.

You can see her spots here. Just a double check. They are starting to hang around more and get more pronounced. Im not sure if they are stress I think this might be what she is going to look like. ???

PC I have SEVERAL female Albino BNs that need a good home...ya want?? They are no good for breeding. They have a stubby fin, I would have culled them, but they came from a breeder and we didn't notice the fin until after we grew them out...PM me if ya want one.
