This is a borrowed pic of an adult so you can get an idea where that finnage is going:

I love them to pieces and am seriously considering an evil plan to keep Patrick's as well as my own. :secret: So here's what you do, you say "Wow, those are ugly fish. I'd never buy those, Patrick. You don't want them ugly ol' things. You should just let Melody keep them. Waste of good fish food they are."

;)

Hey, I just thought of something, they're also 'White Tips'. That means the full name is "Longfin White Tipped Brownlace Bristlenose Plecos" ROFL That's quite a handle.

Wow, those are ugly fish. I'd never buy those, Patrick. You don't want them ugly ol' things. You should just let Melody keep them. Waste of good fish food they are.

:laugh:

[Melody]

What a spontaneously mean thing to say, Mr. GP. But alas, you're quite right. <SIGH> Alright Mr. Mykiss, you're off the hook, I'll keep them all. <MORE SIGHING>

nice fish Melody!!!

[Melody]

Now people, work with me here! LOL

Thanks for your comments. The Longfins have been around for awhile, just not the brownlace, or here anyway. Mr. Mykiss has longfin Albinos here in BC though, and their finnage is the same, just in the Albino form / white color. I'm not sure what he has in stock, but he's breeding them if anyone is interested and he ships. Ms. Pamelajo is also breeding the Albinos in Ontario and she is an experienced shipper as well. I am reasonably sure there's at least one LF Albino BN breeder in Alberta too. LOVE this 'connection' concept ;) .

I think I cleaned the breeder of these ones out, but I can check. Shipping to BC is $48 for starters :wideeyed: .

They're a decent size - some males seem to be getting their bristles already. I suspect that means they'll be breeding reasonably soon. Mr. Mykiss has the other half of mine and I'm content to leave the Pleco breeding to him, so I'd suggest his waiting list. Any that I have will be accidentally bred, so I don't want to make people wait for something quite that elusive...lol. I just get them because I like them and I owed Mr. Mykiss a fave. Pays to be good to other hobbyists - warm fuzzy feelings and Pleco's ;) .

[Melody]

LOL Yeah but yours have Christmas eyes! You don't need mine! Er... ours?

I'm tellin' Santa!!!!:Letter4Santa:

[mykiss]

I'm sorry Mel but I can't pick them up this week...lol As much as I'd love to bring home those little guys, the weather have been CRAZY here as you know. Perhaps when the snow melts a bit....lol

[Melody]

OK, but if I'm robbed before you get here, its not my fault.:Angel: lol No worries, stay safe.

[Pamelajo]

:secret: Hey Mel send them here. Tell him they got stolen and then when he forgets I will send them back.

[Melody]

And you wonder why I love you....lol.
