He's a bit red for an albino?

I think that's a pleco chocolate, only seen one before but hard to get hold of.
 
ok i was told he was albino pleco when we got him, he was given to us with his tank when we got it. We are wanting to sell him as he needs a larger tank now, so any help identifying him would be great! also how much we should put him up for sale for? he is about 6 inches long now. colour is like a sandy colour, will add more pics!

this is all i have of him at the mo, he is more sandy then brown and doesn't have red eyes

OKies, it's called an Albino Chocolate Pleco. Average price for a 14 - 15" is £40 GBP, so it would depend on how quickly you want him rehomed.

Been having a look at pleco prices, so far, the average price for a 6" pleco seems to sit around £13 - £14 GBP
 
he's 6 inches so how much would you say to sell him for?

sorry didnt see the above message, thankyou for the info though!!
 
Basically he is worth nothing, can and probably will get to the same size as a normal common or gibbi and for that reason alone he should be offered free to good home.

It probably is a what they call a chocolate plec but still from the same family as commons, there not really hard to come by just your average LFS wont get them in becasue it's cheaper for the alternative.


Lovely plec but sadly becasue of there potential size there not worth anything.
