Can you put regular bristlenose and albino long fin together in a tank? I have One long fin -male and one long fin female albino, and one regular short fin female Will they get along and breed?? If so what will babies of the short fin look like???
I have a pair of regular fin in a tank with guppies and sword tail .. there looks like a cluch? of eggs on the bottom just floating around, would they hatch?? |

Welcome to the forum!
The albino bristlenose pleco is the same species as the regular one; it's just a different color. They should get along fine. I believe that regular coloration is dominant over albino so mixing them should result in mostly regular ones. For finnage, I would expect to get a mix of fin lengths. Bristlenose plecos lay eggs attached to things so I doubt the eggs would be floating around, at least not viable eggs. Are you sure they are eggs?
