You mean the black things in the sand? That was an experiment that didn't exactly work out. It's no harm to the fish, just some extra black sand I had laying around and decided for some reason to put a good amount in a section of the tank. Can't get it out but I've learned to live with it.
Or the spots on the Plec?

Love the fish, it is a great pleco

 

[Bichir Bro]

Thanks Dela & Aspen!
I saw him bout a month ago and didn't know much about him, but when I finally looked them up I saw they were a wood eating plec so I couldn't pass him up! Also the fact they're pretty sought after upped the cool factor too

Here he is after about a week doin what he does best! He's starting to plump up a little, which is good because he was fairly skinny at purchase do to the fact the tank he was in had no wood in the first place.

I'm pretty sure Brookster at some point on a thread I was observing said, "the more they cost the less you see them." Well I can say with 100% certainty that his statement is indeed true regardless of who said it.

Almost correct I find but maybe just me. Mine come out, do a big crap (of course this is when kids or visitors are watching much to their amusement), and then disappears again.

Haha yeah! I've always heard Plecos pooped a ton but holy cow. For such a small little guy he sure does make a mess!

Yeah, mine dug a nifty little cave underneath a piece of wood. Thankfully I can see his reflection because it's in the back corner.

Off topic to the Pleco but hey look:
My Golden Rabbit Snail had a baby! This is the only type of snail I actually like. Had one for a long time, no clue how this one came to be but hey, free snail! A cool one at that.

Oh oh, this how snails start...

One looks cool, next all the spinach in your fridge is gone (not entirely a bad thing )

Yup! At least it's an actually good looking snail and not a pest one. In my eyes anyway!
Since they're not a pest snail and somewhat liked Id be curious if someone would take them if It does get out of hand. Which in my past experiences with snails it will.
