    I had 3 2.5" BNP is a 90g with over 50 African before. They were fine togther. In fact, I thought one was dead or eaten. After I sold the entire livestock, I found the 3rd one still alive and well. Still have it to date

    I've bought most of my Albino BN plecos from a member here. His username is rescuepenguin. He is in Surrey. And very good price too. 5 bucks each. Try giving him a shout. Good Luck
