the pl*co myth

[duke33]

my brother asked me why i kept calling his " sucker fish " pleco. I said thats what they are called a common pleco. he started laughing. he thought the word was funny. hes 12 yrs old. He woke me up in the morning and said hey, There dead. ( this was 2 weeks ago. ) I asked who? he said the pleco's! so went and looked they wernt in the tank. He had put them in a 2gl tank with 40 feeder fishes about 2" big. 40 feeder fish !!!!!!!!!. amonia killed them. my brother killed them. .. its a curse.i will post pics. i have them drying out on top of my 100gl . there was 2 about 4 inches. they were stiff and stuck to the filter.

Drying out? Why?

I don't follow this myth though. Use logic.

Huuhhhh??? yeah, one swordtail jumped out of a tank with I noticing it. When i discovered the body, it was some kind of empty without eyes.. But it still had its shape.
Lol i noticed that pl*co stuff on thekrib.com. if i remember well, someone lost his pleco after writing it. From then, the plecos were called pl*co.

my Plecos name is tank cause he has survived some nasty hits. hopefully he survives this lol

Allright, after recovering this thread I came home to my tsn with my 8" sailfin in his mouth! I managed to get him to release it and put it in a different tank. It would have died!
