Thanks guys! He might be rare, got him for $70
I don't get to see leopard frog plecos often. The LFS had a few so I thought I should grab one before they all go away.

this pleco only gets to about 4 - 5 inches tops, not usually without a fair price tag tho, mine cost £35 about $50 (approx). dont think they are actually a plecostomus either but are lovely fish, good choice

Cool, what do you think the minimum size aquarium is for one? Thanks!

Yes you are right, it doesn't grow large that is why I bought it. They are really gorgeous fishes. It's only sad they cost too much, but I really liked how they look and I couldn't resist it. My BN pleco died a couple of weeks ago for no apparent reason so I thought I'd replace him as well.

I'm not an expert but since it won't grow big, I think it could do well in a 29G. I have a 60 gallon though.

AAAAGGGHHHH! SO CUTE! I love those guys. I really want one, but I am not quite ready to commit to the pricetag at the moment. He looks really healthy though! Thanks for sharing.

What do you feed him besides algae wafer? He's so nice! How big is he?
Squall said:
He's still pretty little. About 2 1/2 inches I reckon. He likes sinking catfish pellets & Hinkari Mini pellets as well as algae wafers and Prima. He was painfully shy at first, but I've had him a few months now & he's much more confident.

Mine did hide as soon as I let him loose in the tank. I hope he is not the shy type

Yeah mine does that. Found a good cave and just hid. He comes out for a hikari pellet or a chunk of courgette. Took a while before he was confident enough to do that much lol.
