Yeah somewhere between 12" and 14". I can't get enought of it. New digi cam should/better arrive today. I get some macro shots of the spines, and the mouth.
I didn't even know what a pleco was, much less how big they get, and those colours and patterns!!! Absolutely gorgeous! Love the black amoured-looking ones the most...
All i ever knew about them, they were just called sucker-fish at the lfs near me, is that they were just additions to a tank as part of the clean-up crew. They cost all of $2 and i never cried when my lobster ate them up, just grouched that no one would clean the algae off the concrete walls anymore...
Shikes. Those beauties you all have should be so treasured...
yea lobsters and fish arent always a great mix. there are many different species of "plecos" in the loricariid family. all different characteristics, and need different care. a very diverse family.
