Just got this guy a few hours ago and I can't believe I own one. These guys are not common in my area, so I had to pick him up.
I had to show somebody, and thought you guys might be interested, because my other half is not too crazy about fish.
Tell me what you guys think.
Check out the photo w/me carrying it. I know it's not the greatest picture, but it was the best I could do. I was kind of reluctant at first because of the spines, but had to do it to take a photo. Look at the odontodes! Enjoy!

Hmmm..You never indicated what species it is. I certainly have never seen it before. Nice pleco though.

This pleco was sold to me as a hystrix, and he was $55.
Still waiting on pictures. He's still settling in.
 
That is cool beans!! Never seen one.

"Black Adonis Pleco aka Lyre Tail Pleco are sometimes bought by aquarium enthusiast but that is usually a mistake. Acanthicus hystrix is best suited for large public aquariums or large private aquariums not small home aquariums of 100 gallons are less. Take one look at the one pictured above and you can easily understand why. "

Obviously, not the smaller of the plecos!
