I have had both and the albino's seem to out perform, by about double. It might have been I had lazy regulars? Also I might be a little baised as I bought them to breed and had them all in different tanks to grow out to breeding size, but they did out do the regulars, noticably. By the way I have not bred them yet, they are doing too good of jobs in each tank. If you have a large tank, say 100 and up, use a sailfin pleco and you will never see any debris or algae, but the like to eat small fish.
Well all I can say is what works for one might not work for others, but I think this will work for everyone. These plecos get about 3 1/2 inches to 4 if your lucky. If you decide on al. bristlenose and are getting more than 1 get 1 male and the rest female. Males have bristes going from their mouth, up the center ofthe head, females don't. Malesalso take care of the eggs, not the female. They also like to breed in a closed in area, like those little houses with small window decorations, hope you know what I'm talking about. Good luck. Thanks.

I've only got a 29 gallon and don't think I'll be upgrading any time soon. Any idea what stores carry them? Or if you're interested in selling one? LOL I'd prefer to stick with 1 for the time being.

I have had a 55 gallon FW tank for years and all I ever use is rubber lipped plecos they grow quite slowly and don't get very big max size at best 6". I have only had one in the tank for the last 6 months and not a spot of algae on the glass and it is only approx 2.5". Plus they have them at petsmart for usually around $6 so they're in your budget too.
