About
The Longfin Albino Bristlenose Pleco combines the albino colour morph with extended longfin genetics to produce a uniquely eye-catching fish. Its pale cream body, pink eyes, and flowing fins make it stand out in any aquarium. Care requirements are identical to other Bristlenose forms — it is hardy, easy to breed, and a capable algae grazer.
