Hello and thanks in advance, could you ID my BN I think it's a Orange BN (sorry it's my first BN).

The colour maybe a wee bit more orange as my water is coloured with drift wood tannin.

He/she is currently 7 cm long.

Oh an Albino! thanks for the quick responses.

I got it from my local store that sold it as a Orange I think, I posted here to double check as I know stores lack in quality knowledge of what they sell.

Happy with that as I have Albino Cory, kinda makes my OCD happy haha.

But thanks again for the quick replies.

Just for future reference on sex id- females can have small bristles but males grow them fuller, larger and further up the ‘cheeks’. Bristlenoses are one of the easiest to sex at a larger size than pretty much any pleco once you get your eye into it :)

she’s a beauty for sure !

Also fun is that albino BN will colour dependent on what they eat feed lots of carrot, butternut pumpkin they get a very orange colour, I had one that loved strawberries and would get very red.
