Another Awesome New Pleco :D

[divemaster99]

On my way home from my LFS (no I'm not typing and driving ) and picked up another new pleco. It's a 1-1.25" Lemon Drop Ancistrus and a beautiful one at that! It'll be going into a 20 tall that is a growout for my C. cutteri fry to take care of algae and also just why not have a pleco where there's room for one. More pictures once it's acclimated!

Acclimating:

Just noticed: with the coloration it has now it sort of looks like a "mini-goonch"!

Gave him an algae wafer but hasn't touched it yet, probably still getting used to the new tank is what I'm assuming. Since I don't know if it's a male or female this young I named it Sam since that can be either Samuel or Samantha and I name pretty much all my fish, other than ones it's to hard to keep track of (tetras, danios, etc).

I go to a bunch actually (3 main ones). I got this guy from Aquariums and Ponds by Namado which is my favorite of the three, it's a very small store that's just starting out but the guy who owns it is a very well respected hobbyist in the area and if he took an IQ test would probably come out as a genius, which is probably why he's got so much business in the 5 months it has been open.
