Aquarium Advice Apprentice
When we started with our guppies last year, we were advised to buy an algae eater,so we bought the pleco that the store owner showed us for $4.99. He was about 2 inches long and we named him/her(?) Hoover after the vaccum cleaner. He is afraid of everything and immediately flips up his sail fin on top and side fins and runs to hide if a guppy comes toward him. He is green and black spotted and I cannot find one like him online to know what kind he is. He is 10 inches long now and 2 inches wide and still scared of the guppies. The closest one I could find is a pleco that will grow to 2 feet long. It's no problem if he does,he'll come and rub up against my hand when I working on the tank,I just want to make sure I feed him enough.Oh yea, the tip of his tail has side fins and a top fin too. I don't have a digital camera to scan a picture of him.
