| well, you have two albino longfin fry there by the looks of it. The third one is interesting. Judging by what you said you have in your tank in your intro posts my money is on a common shortfin but i have never seen one with such fine point markings. Its incredible!! I would be keeping that one to breed with 120%!!!! Or you can send it to me  _________________ Doug's Bristlenose eBook - The number one source of Bristlenose information and the most detailed breeding guide avaliable

| not sure 2 long fin albino for sure, the third I reckon could be a normal longfin... think the tail fisn is too long to be a common.. though it can be hard to tell when young... Doug's advice is usually close though  |

| I bought them from a local fish shop and when I asked them what they were he said that they were just listed as bn's but he thought they looked like starlights...
I have googled them and gone through so many images on there!
They are really dark brown/black and the spots are really fine and white.
They are really beautiful but im dying to know what they really are lol!!! |

Glad I have friends to do some identifying on here.....
Curby your L059 looks spot on to me mate... wish I had the patience to check them out for people, but my time right now is full of pain and watching the clock
for when to take my next pain killers.....
Lovely fish the L059 though....... a little like a cross of the flash pleco in the fin and a Lo71 peppermint... so he as three nice pleco's there from the LFS...
Wonder what was paid for them..
