Bushy nose and a rubber lip....I was given the rubber lip and the two are in a 29g, they are pals. The roam all over together. Kinda odd though that they hang out together.
What kind of pleco do you have?

Tried to load it but its from my cell and it came up as an error:/ but the bushy is about 5" the rubberlip is about 3" I have had the bushy since it was a little over an inch long, I give him a cucumber once in a while I know they like to eat drift wood but the tannins in the water stear me clear of putting some in for them, so they get pleco waffers and a cucumber once a week.
Not all driftwood leeches tannins. The faded looking ones that are usually screwed on a piece of slate have never leeched any tannins in my tanks and I've been buying them since the 80's. These pieces won't sink without the bases.

My common pleco learned to eat pellets and flakes off the surface than my chocolate pleco copied its kind of annoying because I want them to eat whatever falls to the bottom and leave the floating stuff for my other fishies! So much for bottom feeders haha, my two big Plecos are also not scared of anything I have actually pet them and they just sit there, they are weird!

I can relatewith my sail fin, he'll sit their while I poke him and pet him. In fact one time when i wanted to move the plastic reef in my tank, he sat on the underside of it while I squeezed on him unknowingly trying put the reef together. Odd, TOUGH little bugger.

They don't all get that big. But in my opinion up close they do look pretty freaky.

If you've seen them blink that is really freaky! There heads remind me of frogs, but I would agree if you are freaked out by them I wouldn't get one I always have to pick my small ones off of decorations because they refuse to let go and I hate touching them because I've been cut by them before and it was just a small one like two inches long!!
