yup.. i couldn't agree more.. Plecos are very unique and by far the weirdest fish i've encounter... i mean.. a fish with sucker??? lol :headbang2

Yes.. i'll try to get shots of it outside of the tank, so far its still getting used to its new home.. from a wild habitat to a barebottom tank, to now my tank.. i think its safe to assume i'll be stress for awhile before it comes out..

I will keep updating on the progress....

Nice goldie, what else in the tank?

He's sharing a 150gallon, 6ft tank with 4 other plecos.. L-128, L-190, Albino Salfin and Chocolate pleco.. along with a few other giants.. wont bother him tho.. but sadly he's still hiding... :(
 
It will take him a week or two to settle in like my L-114. He was full of parasites but I put him in his own 20 long and fed him medicated food and now his fesces are dark and eyes look good and he is fine. Hopefully you will not have to go through that all. Where you get him from? Nice pickup on a nice pleco!

thx... I'm sure he's fine.. I got him from a highly reputable vendor, Snookn21! Great guy and I gotta say awesome that is a young fish, at 9", I didnt want to get anything adult size... 12" or more..

He/she is already eating market shrimp i threw in... but still shy.. only came out once at night before he hid back under the driftwood again.. More pictures to come.. I still am not able to get a nice shot other than when i lifted him out of the bag and into the tank..
