| i love this guy, i wish he was more active during the day time tho. i think that may partially be that my common pleco bullies him a little bit, but in a few days the common with have a new home and the BN will have reign over the tank.
i should also give honorable mention to the Endlers and the Cory cats that kept sneaking into the pictures, the BN has a algae disc in his mouth and they wanted it! lol | |

| i have 4, i got them probably 3 weeks ago. i think i need to add a couple more to the tank, they dont seem to school together. hopefully a larger number will get them schooling. | |

| Awesome longfin abnp. Nice bristles on him. My adult male longfin abnp doesn't have that much bristles and he's full grown. In fact when I first got him, I thought he was a SHE.
Where did you get him? If from a LFS, must have cost a fortune.  | |

| i actually bought him from a local aquatic club member. she told me she would take $12 for him, well when i got there she hooked me up with a bag full of Endlers, probably 20-30 of them, so i gave her all the cash i had $14!
how much do you suppose i store would have charged?
do you have any pics of your BNs? | |

do you have any pics of your BNs? | Oh you are so lucky! $12 is not even a price for our baby bns in our lfs here. I know in the US is always cheaper than in Canada. I paid mine from my lfs $89.99 each (that was their price tag) about a year ago and not even full grown. Lucky me, I got 2 and they paired up.
Here's a pix of the male & female I got. First pix is the original pair and the staff thought it's a male/female but ended up both males and the one with longer bristles died after 48 hours. The one with shorter bristles is also a male and that's what I got now and still short bristles.
Second pix is of the male that died. Luckily he gave me a replacement with no bristles and they paired up while still in their QT tank.
Third and Fourth pix is my female. | |

| You definately got a great deal for him and the endlers! My LFS sells Longfin Albino BN's for 19.99 when they are babies! The adults can be 90 a pair! The endlers are 5 bucks for a pair!
my LF albino BN is cute, but I think it is a female. She does not have any bristles yet, but she is still young. I love that fish, and I def. second the nomination for fish of the month! | |

| i wish your pic was a little bigger, he/she looks very cool! do you have more pics you could post? id love to see more of her.
the lady i got mine from just had some new albino bn babies, i think she said they were 2 weeks old. her male was sitting in a PVC pipe guarding them, it was pretty cool to see. sometime i will pick up a female LF and have myself some babies. | |

| woohoo finally got some pics of him out of hiding! i havent been quick enough to catch him hanging on the glass yet, but its coming!  
heres a scary picture for me, he keeps digging into the substrate making his own little cave, but he doesnt clear it out enough i dont think. im affraid hes going to get stuck and die!

Thank you,I think I got it! You don't know how long I've been trying to figure that out. My camera is auto everything, and it takes great pics....except for my fish! I do not know why it does that! I wonder if I need a different camera? | |
