19.5 inch pleco video(1993)

[Warborg]

Ok, this is an old VHS tape that I recorded back in 1993. I video taped the video just now...so it's not the best in the world... Sorry.

I also had other monster plecos( 3@ 16-17inches) that may show up in the video.

Other monsters were a 12 inch Bala Shark with a few others that were smaller( I think the next one was 10 inches)

~1.29 into the video you see a 3-4 inch clown loach pass by the face of the pleco. To get an image of the size of the pleco.

The pleco was a Pterygoplichthys disjunctivus in a 190 gallon tank.

Enjoy:
