AB PLECO

The Albino Pleco (Ancistrus cf. cirrhosus) is a member of the Loricariidae family of South American suckermouth catfishes. While many suckermouth catfish species have yet to be bred on any major scale in aquariums, the Longfin Bristlenose Pleco is one of the most easily- and often-bred “pleco” species in the aquarium hobby and many popular color morphs, such as this variety, have been developed. This fish is immediately distinguishable by its highly variable pink and yellow marbled pattern as well as the growth of many bristle-like appendages on its facial area beginning in sub-adulthood. Both sexes grow the appendages, but the growth and length is much more pronounced in males.
