Ahh, the spiny monster pleco. A lovely ugly fish that doesn't get the love it deserved. Glad to see someone else loves them .

He's one of my many favorites, he's very aggressive as well.

hi Jason I also have a L160 about 18cm, mines also a very very aggressive feeder, in fact its just very aggressive for a pleco, probably the most aggressive pleco I've seen

He pounces on any new pleco I add to the tank, when I put the L191 in there, he was chewing on him. He figured out who was boss real quick after that.

Lol.
This is random but related to the pleco. How would someone ship a large spiny monster? There spines would pop the bags I would think unless you used an incredibly thick bag.

a large one would have to be shipped in a polly box, mine is only 18cm and it came in a polly box

Usually they come in a heavy plastic bag and inside that bag there is a blue plastic sheet that covers the sides and bottom, when I ordered some from Wes the bags seemed like they were leather wrapped on the bottom, those have been the nicest bags yet.
