Pretty cool Mike,

looks like something that might be hard to feed?

Congrats Mike
That is a rare picture. What kind of pleco were the parents? Are you selectively breeding?

They are Albino Bristle Nose Plecostomus.

I have been getting fri from that tank for 4 years now, with various ABNP's

Very nice. The first time bristlenoses bred for me, I wasn't prepared. The babies came flooding out of a cave with those huge yolk sacs on them - straight for the surface. The other fish looked like me at Easter with chocolate eggs. It took some fancy net work to save about a dozen - what a panic...

The second time, I was ready, but those cool yolk sacs are a delicacy if they have tankmates. They are really fun fish to breed and raise. Really cute. And yeah, they don't look like fish til the yolk is all absorbed.

Thanks for those photos. Really cool stuff to see.
