so I bought a 2 inch albino brittle nose Pleco from LPS like three years ago, and she’d began growing very very fast. I have a 55 gallon and it got to the point where she was so big and powerful that she would incidentally kill my smaller fish when she flipped around at night 😭 she would literally annihilate the poor little corydoras with her big a$$ tail 😬 i moved her out to my outdoor heated cichlid pond where all the huge adults live. she loves it out there.
by the way i’m in south florida so i only need heaters from late nov-march. with the heaters, so far the coolest it’s gotten is like 68° and these adults are well fed and very “meaty and muscular” so they have all survived the past 3 winters 🙃
anyway, is this a super large albino brittle nose or is it the elusive albino Pleco?? this girl is huge!!! I measured her and she’s 13 inches head to tail!!! The 8 inch blood parrots are in the foreground, and this big lady is in the background. Don’t let that distance fool you. i’m starting to truly believe she is a regular albino Pleco. Which is super cool because I don’t hear much about them!!
