New pleco

[Fluff]

I just got back from my sisters picking up this guy. Ain't he cool? He's a 10" common pleco.

Oh, and that other thing in the bucket is a black skirt she needed to find a home for. I'll have to get pics of it once it's settled in.

Be careful he don't munch your fingers off!

Now that's a pleco! Nice pickup Fluff (the black shirt looks so small by comparision).

 

[Fluff]

LOL the skirt is over a year old and is full grown. I never did take pics of him, gotta do that yet.
But, thanks everyone. I love plecos and am so happy with this beast. And, to be able to give him a home and help out family was party bonus.

That makes me miss my monster plec! There is NO way I could pick him up though. Too scary!

 

[Fluff]

lol Not scary at all. They are very hard and rough. Like picking up an old boot. That wriggles. lol

 

[Jchillin]

Ok, I can't imagine picking up a wiggling boot...LOL

 

[Billsgate]

Awesome looking pleco!!!

 

[SerLunchbox]

nice pleco ... looks like one that Menagerie got at our last meeting for $1 CDN

 

[Fluff]

Yeah, I know they are a dime a dozen but I didn't want to see him be taken back to the fish store so she gave him to me. And I was happy to take him. lol

A slight question, ive been seeing people holding their plecos out of water alot.. Can you actually do that? o.o;; I mean, obviously you can but.. is it allowed? lol

 

[Fluff]

He wasn't out of the water very long. Being out of the water for the few seconds it takes to snap a picture isn't to bad. I imagine if it's done alot, the stress would have ill effects on the fish.
