There are some ugle fish in there.
I love the Plecos but some of the ones on that site are just repugnant!

I had a big 15" guy in my 25 gallon tank a few years ago.

I had to get rid of the guy, since everytime he moved hed uproot half the plants in my tank. I was sad to see him go. Hopefully the guys at the petstore gave him a good home.

If anybody lives near london ontario you have to go check out the plecos in the koi pond at Big Als there. The biggest one in there is an easy 2.5 footer. Crazy big. The koi pond is like a low to the ground fishtank, pretty cool. heres a pic of the pond(kindof) http://www.bigalscanada.com/images/s...london/4lg.jpg

I love pecos, i just bought my first one, a clown pleco. I love it, although it is very shy...

So is mine. He hides either under my moss driftwood or under the filter intake (has a big sponge on it). Rarely ever see Augustus (the Clown Pleco) come out from under there.

I'm thinking once I move Augustus to a larger tank and have some moonlights I may get to see him more.

Just Holly COW!!!! I thought a big sutrgeon was a monster fish but catching pleco large enough for a meal would be a shock!

AngelaOlsenFan · 11-24-2006, 01:04 PM

wow, it's huge!

tropicfishman · 11-24-2006, 07:36 PM

still not as big as the " jumbo " plecos my LFS has been trying to sell for 90 a piece, the ones they have alot longer tail but about the same size body and there a real pale tannish color, I love plecos, but they scare the crap outta me lol the LFS said a 75 gallon tank was suitable for a fish that size
