wow, a 33" common pleco!? it was a common right? very cool! what size tank was he kept in? did he do any growing for the last 4 years of his life? did he beat down on his tankmates alot?
yes, he was a common. he started out in a 10 gal tank at 1" long. then moved to a 20, 29 custom, 44 hex, then 55. he grew pretty steadily and didn't so much bother anyone else- except Kermit the aquatic frog. He ate Kermit. LOL swooped down, sucked him up and spit him out. next morning, frog was nowhere to be found.
