I like that first pic I almost gave my fish away to get one a lot like him. Pet store had a nice big one that looked identical to that one for $10 I thought it was a cool looking pleco. Nice looking fish
just out of curiosity, the pleco's don't mind being handled like the 3rd picture? i've seen several other people post pictures with their fish in their hands in a similar fashion, I have to assume that would stress the fish out, no?
