Craters?

[fishhead0103666]

I've always heard of large plecos making craters in acrylic tanks but I've never seen pictures of said craters. Could anyone share a picture of one of these craters?

Large royals can do crazy damage to acrylic tanks.

Well then, looks like I'll have to worry about craters in about a decade once my little 2.5 incher isn't so little anymore . Got any pics?

I’m sure they can put craters in acrylic but my 8” only been scrapping the finish surface on my acrylic tank let me see if I can show the damage when I get a chance.

Perfect .

Sorry for the late response. Here’s the best pic I can take to show the damage.

Better late than never and I can see the damage, thank you.
