Well after a long time trying my Albino BN pleco finally had babies.
Thanks for everyone's help over the last 6months or so.
I do have 1 more question thou. My male seemed to have kicked out the eggs from his cave after 3 days so I put them in a nursary with an air stone after that and it seemed most of them made it. I was wondering when do I get rid of the air stone it looks like most of their egg sacks are gone and I would like to move them to another tank.

Any suggestions?

Once they have gone from "flourescent" orange to "pale yellow", I'd say you can move them. Make sure you move them gently tho', young bristlenoses can be a bit fragile, compared to older specimens. Make sure the water in the other tank is IDENTICAL (preferrably, take water from your current tank to fill the new one, but make sure you have a mature filter in the new tank too).

Hi Mats,
I do have a tank ready for them with a sponge filter I had with the parents tank. I just wasn't sure how long they needed the air stone. I figured once they could swim they would be ok.
