 Is this the normal color? And is this a Female? It is still young, but my albino is starting to get a few bristles, so I thought it might be a male. |

Not sure bout the normal colour. My BN plec was all black when i bought it now it has turned to a black an cream, almost like a camoflague,
As for the sex of the plec both male and female will have bristles only the males get a lot more than females |

Mine's about the same, too - looks like yours has the same white tips a the corners of the caudal fin that mine does.
For sex, how big is it? Mine's about 3 inches now and just starting to get his bristles. |

That color is common.
 Jus a thought, PM a mod to move this to the pleco section to see if someone can help ID sex. They'll prob ask for more pics, though.  The albino are REALLY hard to find where I am  I want one
