I brought this guy home. Of everyone in the tank, it's him I adore. Or is it a she? Tiny thing, probably 1.5 inches. If anyone can tell me if it's a he or a she yet, since it's so small, I would appreciate it.

Its cute! Is it a bushy nose pleco? If it is I think its a girl because they have small or no brisltes.

They told me it was, but that doesn't mean much these days,

I think it is. It looks like an albino one. I am thinking it is a female.

Nice looking fish. Definitely a BN, sexing would depend on its age.

I have no idea how old. I have to go to the lfs where I got it tomorrow, so I'll ask.

Does anyone here have 3 inch plus ABN? I'm asking because this one is so tiny and doesn't have the markings and colors of a 3 inch one the lfs has in their large tank. I'm assuming they grow into their colors and markings.

On pleco forums all over the net, everyone gets into really off the wall plecos that're undeniably beautiful, but I'm just lookin for someone with one of these. LOL!

ETA: They had a Rhino pleco that was really interesting, but I was scared of how big it could get.

I forgot to tell you I have several rhinos and they can be very agressive to some fish.

Very cute little guy (or girl). I'm still waiting to get mine. I think my wife is planning on getting me one for Valentines day, so I'm gonna wait and let her get it for me as a "surprise", even though I already know.
