How Many Varieties Of Bn Plecos Are There?

I know that there are a lot of types of BN plecos, but I am still discovering more of them, I am just curious about if any more are out there. So far I know about the commons, albinos, super reds, green dragons, blue eyed plecos, and the snow white variation of the BN pleco species. I also know about the long fin variations too, but do any other types exist too?

 

I just learned about the snow white BN pleco. So pretty! I think there's a calico BN pleco as well.

 

the calico is a piebald pleco, I forgot to add that one! thanks for reminding me, the piebald bn pleco is another one to add to the list!

 

Uhhhhh

 

interesting species to add to the list, thanks DoubleDutch.

 

I had no idea all those were BN plecos. Thought they were all L144. Interesting thanks! Now which ones do I have? Hmmmm....

 

• that is a lot of plecos to add, now I know why I keep on discovering more of them!

 

Guys, no need to post individual links, DoubleDutch provided a link to Planet Catfish where they can all be found

 

And no wonder everyone's BN plecos all look so different. Different colors, different body shapes, sizes.....makes sense now!

 

Please realise most BN's that we keep are the result of years crossbreeding and therefor are called Ancistrus cf (=looking like) cirrhosus.

They come as brown, grey, black, lemon, albino, calico, normal fin, long fin, etc....
This "species" is not found in the wild.

Besides that there are pure strains that are caught in the wild or bred from wildcaught ones (without crossbreeding).
