The first of my fancy plecos. Took a year for me to get this first one, but since then I'm up to 5 different fancy pleco (no bristlenose or rubber lip either - just not fancy enough for me ;)! )! This one was from PiePuncher - my favorite of all my fancy plecos (though my Galaxy is a close second!). More pics to come soon!

Eh - if I'm not breeding it or it doesn't have different coloring for males or females they are all "he's" to me - LOL!

He is big and seems to have colored up well. I am suprised he is not a little blotchy being out of the water. Nice fish. All mine have been very happy with their new home and are fat as can be. Their colors have started to glow! Glad he worked out for you. I lost one over the past few months due to the aggression of my Flash Plecos. I have three flash plecs and they will not allow any pleco to get near their homes. If a plec comes to close, they get stuck and whooped by the flash.
I am happy for you and glad things are coming along. A very addictive hobby and can be expensive, especially at the rate you are going!!!!
