Okay, I posted a while ago about a 'Gold Nugget' pleco at my lfs. Turns out, it wasn't a GN, but i have no idea what it actually is :screwy:

Anyhow, heres a few images, the little bugger's about 2", and the last image is a free image for you all of my Gibbiceps, who is about 3".

No no no...I know the third picture in my first post is a gibby, but I had promised to show it off :p
The other images are off the 'mystery' pleco. And yes, I'm loving the whole Gibby-Huge-Monster thing :D
