Just looked it up. WILD! Very unique finnage and I love those bumpy things on the skin. And, needless to say, the horn! tongue.gif

blink.gif ok,so he does look like I recalled.For a minute there Ryukin's pic scared me that plec is so green looking.Planet catfish had dark ones,and they had the coloring of yours E--he's still pretty cool even if I can't see his horns! yeah.gif laugh.gif I was checking out Aquabid tonight.They have a Leopard Cactus Plec on there that I really like................Too much money,I'm thinking.... sad.gif
Erika
Ya know? I only paid 7.99 for that bugger, and he's 4 inches already.

I guess they get pretty big like commons, so I'll have to worry about that in the future. blink.gif

lol, the plants ouch. nice pleco. biggrin.gif
Erika
Hey don't make fun of my old "whatever it is plant!!" I've had that plant forever, and I've been trying to nurse it back to health since.. get this.... Naughty ate it. I refuse to let it go. haha. biggrin.gif

blink.gif I could be wrong here.I went back to PlanetCatfish to check out his pic again.Do you aslo know that they call them Chocolate Pleco's? Now them ,I have seen.My LFS,Elmer's had them.I can't remeber,but I'm thinking that I may not have gotten because of the size that they become. I have a funny feeling that you're right & that they do get pretty big,and that's probably why I didn't buy him. blink.gif

Erika
Thanks Sandy... I've seen him a whopping 3 times since I got him! He hides in a terracotta pot stuffed with javamoss most of the time. Ah... those reclusive plecos.... gotta luv em. rolleyes.gif

Where are you keeping him errika?
Erika
He's in my 20 gallon right now. I saw him again last night after lights out, but as soon as I got close, he swam down his pot and hid! blink.gif
