Albino common pleco

Question
Hi,
I got an albino common pleco and wanted to know more about this fish. In the
internet all I managed is to know about albino bristlenose pleco which grows not
as big as the common pleco. My question is, if it's not the bristlenose one then
is it just a common pleco with albino variation and would grow really big as the
common pleco?!

Answer
You are lucky. Ive been looking for an albino pleco for MONTHS!!!

They will grow as large. Its a genetic variaton that has nothing to do with the full grown size. His parents were both HET, and his siblings are either albino, or are HETs as well.

Lemme know if you have any question.

Thanks,
