The starting bid is $350. Delta Dash for my 3 footer was $74

Yes, the starting bid is at $350 but the reserve price hasn't been met. There's already one person who bidded on it by the name, Plecoman1000 (how appropriate).

With a pleco that large, I'd hope it goes to a nice 50,000 gallon tank.

I agree a public aquarium would be appropriate.

About the size of the one I was about to pick up but died in transit. Saw the body though and it was enormous! The repacement came in at only 18"

Aquaman,

There's some pics of Oddball's monster pleco HERE (http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=17196). Check it out. It's very impressive. ;)

Best regards.
