What a cute and weird looking fish. I laughed when I saw his mouth sucking my tank glass....

He's 30cm or 12 inches L023 or common pleco.

I have 2 cuts of cucumber in the tank now, was gonna put a slice of carrot as well but thought I'll ask here. Should I dip the carrot in hot water first before I put it in or the pleco can just eat it like that. (carrot is hard)
 
If the pleco wants to eat the carrot, it being a little hard isnt going to stop him.

post up a pic of your new sucker!
 
Tried to get some pics but I can't get it good. I've done some video as well currently uploading. Will post the video when it's finished.

Glad to hear you're enjoying him. They're addictive though. The 1st one is always a common for $3. Before you know it you're paying $100 plus shipping for a fancy Plec and patting yourself on the back for finding such a good deal lol

Lol you read my mind!

I have 4 bristlenose catfish about 5 cm length (different tank lol). And they cost like 8 bux each and the more I see them the more I want to get the "bigger one" for my bigger tank. The mouth sucking action makes me laugh everytime they stick it on the glass.

I think that in Australia they will have pay the $100 for the 'common', anything fancy and you have to remortgage.

yeah, I paid $80 for that guy (about $70USD). Pleco is quite expensive here.
