Hello,
How big should I let my Albino Bushynose Plecos grow to before I move/sell them?
Thanks!

Depends on who's buying them, how much they are willing to pay for a given size, and what space you have available. Many shops prefer larger fish, so will pay more for 2" fish than 1" fish - but you need more space to allow them to grow out.
1" is about the smallest I would "distribute". I have moved smaller fish between tanks, but when it comes to rehoming further than a few feet, I think about 1" is the minimum for safe transport and adaption to the new environment.
