Slightly older pic of the Endli, he/she is about 14"

Since that pic I've added sand. Bare bottom is easy to clean, but looks like crap. IMO.

Ornate, roughly 10"

Ornate hanging out

World's crappiest captive bred Delhezi. I say that because he's a runt, doesn't have a single stripe only a few black dots. He wouldn't cooperate for pics. That bundle of plants is his home, he only leaves for food. Or to harass his arch nemesis, the Ornate. He's roughly 7" and doesn't seem to be growing anymore. :hitting:

My latest acquisition. A $120 Silver Aro I only paid $40 for. Store owner was desperate to get rid of it as it was eating everything it was housed with, I saw an opening for negotiation on price. Doesn't help that it was being kept with various tetras. :screwy: Anyway, he/she is around 8-9"

Not pictured are two common pleco's who actually get along, but not with the Ornate, he's to curious for his own good. Also one small clown pleco, who doesn't bother anyone and no one else bothers with.


All fish are in my 75. And yes, I'm well aware that I'll need a bigger tank soon. I've already gotten a quote from a local builder.
 
Damn 120 for an aro that size? thats a rip. $40 you paid sounds abt right though, and LOL @ keeping it with tetras at the store. Nice tank bro, I feel you on the del. I use to have one that just sat on a log all day and only ate when I wasn't in the room. I sold him after a month.

Not in my area man. All Aro's go for roughly $100 at about 4"s here. I got a steal, even though in your area it's about right.

Both the Endli and Ornate in my area go for $70ish, albino Sens are $30. :irked:
 
i feel you about the price of the aro. silvers go for the same price here in vegas. and jardinis reach to the $240 range at 9". nice tank though.
 
Damn that sucks guys. And I thought NY was overpriced. How much r fancy plecos in your areas? Those r usually what's overpriced in my area. Sorry for the derail lol, post up more shots of the aro!

I don't pay much attention to plecos really, but the store I bought the Aro from had green phantoms at $45 and a Vampire Pleco at $60.

Anyway, more pics

How can you say no to a face like this?
