True Albino Common Pleco Price?

[Hoyo12]

Anyone know about how much they go for these days? Any size.

Paid 15 bucks for a 2 incher now he is 5 inches and I have seen them go for around 25 bucks. Check out aquabid.

There is no true albino common pleco, there is an albino marbled sailfin. The lowest I've seen was $12 but they were sold out.

There can theoretically be an albino of any of the plecos. I've seen albino Pterygoplichthys pardalis, G. gibbiceps, and even A. adonis. They are out there, you just have to find them.

I was thinking that they looked like Sailfins.
So, say that they are Sailfins at about 1.5", and there are three, is $20 a good deal? lol, hopefully have some arriving next week.

$20 per albino is pretty expensive if they are in fact G. gibbiceps in an albino morph.

The difference is pretty easy to spot. The easiest trait to look for is a faint spotted marking on the dorsal fin. If you see this, G. gibbiceps, if not, it could be one of many other albinos sold as "common plecos".

No, $20 total for the three.
Here is a pic of two. Not a very good one though...

$20 for 3 is a good price. Without the dorsal up, I can't be 100% sure, but based on shape, they look like Glyptoperichthys gibbiceps.

Alright, great! And I would agree with them being Glyptoperichthys gibbiceps. Thanks for the help!
Pics when they arrive.

I guess that's true.

If one was to have an albino Pardalis... it would be worth hundreds

Best I can tell those do look like Albino sailfins. Since they still sell for over $10 each here, I'd say the price is good
