Large batch of ABN pleco's at 3 weeks

[plecoman]

Here's some pics of the large batch that the white female had. They are now 3 weeks old and already over 1/2" long. There are between 150 to 200 in this 20 gallon long tank. The pictures are from different areas of the tank. The babies are everywhere! This is a bare bottom tank, so their reflections from the bottom glass kinda mess up the picture.

I have just fed them and they are having a feeding frenzy. This pic is from the left side of the tank.

This pic is from the right side of the tank.

Even at 3 weeks, they already enjoy the driftwood. This pic is from the center of the tank.

Great pics

Are there any that are white like their mum?

I have a very light L144 but not yet sexable but would be interesting to see if the colour passes onto any young

They all are whiter than the standard ABN pleco. Look at the picture above where they are on the driftwood. You can see how white they are in the pic. It does seem to pass down from the mother. I have about 100 that are 1 1/2" long and they are also whiter then the standard ABN. The mom is a true albino. The dad is also not as orange and the standard ABN.

Yes I noticed on the driftwood they seemed lighter, especially the one at the bottom of the pic. They are lovely <3
