There is always room for another tank.

Thats true. I just set up my sixth. Any more tanks in my crappy apartment, and I will have to sell furniture. Does anyone want to buy furniture?

A friend of mine use to build tanks right into furniture. He had an antique TV with a 25gal instead of the screen. A piano with a 55 gal for the top half. He made some cool tanks.

Can you put a fish tank into the back of a couch?

well they get smaller in comparison to the plecos size, and they become more spaced out obv. There are prob 50+ plecos that are black with white spots, including this individual with 3 "claws"

There are also a good number of plecos that have these "Claws". Most plecos have some form of spine near there gills. I forget the term for these.

yea, its just this particular plec has very definate ones, three, and due to this it was called Hopliancistrus tricornis cf (cf=one in the picture, they still keep them when adult). Was originally thought to be the same as L067, but now is thought that they are different species and so it doesn't have the snout odontodes or the hint of yellow in the dorsal found with L067. Both fishes have yellow in the caudal.

I read about that somewhere, but I don't remember where... I'll have to go looking.

............... i saw on of them vampire plecos, wasnt sure to get it tho, cause it was like half a inch big......... but now seeing how good it look when bigger... i regret not getting it....

If it really was .5", or even under an inch and a half, I would not buy it. Plecos that small often die. They are more fragile than the larger plecos. The only one I recommend buying that small would be commons, and not to the basic keeper either. My first green phantom was about 1" when I got him, and I got him to become a respectable 3" before my angels killed him. Too much work, I will always get them at least 1.5" as a minimum size.

i try not to buy plecos under 2" for that same reason, especially if they are expensive, although its all relative, some plecos will only get to a 4" size, some would exceed 2 foot so...
