I have raised albino bristle nose pleco's,Now I'am trying to find a new pleco to breed. What do you suggest,I'am not looking for something hard to breed just something a bit different than abn's. Thanks for your help.:)

Hi fish doc. Well, if you didn't want to try one of the other common bristlenose variants then maybe you could look at orange spots or perhaps peppermints. Both are a little harder to breed but not too difficult and should provide plenty of enjoyment.
If you wanted to try something other than pleco's you could always look at LG6 or royal whiptails, both of which breed like rabbits once you get them started and of course there is also cories to consider :)

I have started breeding pygmy corys in with my plecos. They are cute little guys and dont annoy the plecos.

Or as beencees suggests your next step up are peps.

I guess it depends on what you can buy locally, but maybe different ancistrus? otherwise you are into harder to breed fish like hypancistrus
