I think I found what it is it's a gold spot pleco

You can actually do the gallons from the dimensions. How wide and tall is the 8 footer?

 

[Slowmoe]

Haven't got the eight footer yet but am Goin to be making it from scratch and want to make it 8' long 3' high and 2' deep

 

[Rosenweiss]

If it was me I would do 2 high and 2 deep... much more manageable for aquascaping. a 3 foot high tank usually frustrates people.

Sorry, I mean 2 high and 3 deep.

 

[Slowmoe]

Yeah now that you say that 3 foot high would get frustrating but 3 deep would be pretty good. Hopefully I can get it done soon before my green terror and Texas get too big

 

[Rosenweiss]

Yeah... a tank like that is going to be 300 gallons. =] A little overkill, but honestly, that's gonna be like paradise for them.

 

[Slowmoe]

Yeah I'd rather have too much room than not enough

My baby Pleco Henry. Got him about a month ago, he swims away when the camera comes out, so this is the best picture I could get sadly He's a very light color, lighter then the pleco's my parents had when I was growing up.

This is my common. He is in a 40 gal now and is like 4-5 inches and will be moved to my 150 soon. He never leaves the driftwood.

Gomez! He is 12 inches and an amazing fish. Though he has been slacking lately on his algae detail.

My sailfin Pleco Mick, he's a beauty we adopted him about 2years ago from a 5 gallon tank owner he's happy now and in a 55 as that's my biggest tank at the moment (i do pwc two or three times a week to make sure the parameters are good) , we are going to custom make a huge tank later this year just for him , he's spoilt rotten and such a big baby my little corydoras sit on his head when he's out of his cave , very funny to see but as soon as I get the camera/iPad out they all bugger off ..



This is him enjoying his steamed broccoli , it's his favourite food ..
