Not likely to happen again - loaches just aren't that aggressive.


he's desperate for a
Pleco....but the one he wants is round £20-30....


Ya, the LPS has a half dozen with white strips that's the neatest
looking things, but priced to high ($50.00). They have been there for
almost 2 months now, and I know (well - I think) he only paided half
that or less. The cheap son-of-a-gun won't go down (I want two) and I'm
so cheap I squeek, so we are at a stand still. He calls me whenever
something looks a little funny with the fish, or their behavior
changes, wanting me to come take a look, and treat if needed. I already
told him that two of those pleco's need to be quarantined at my house
(so I can keep an eye on them), but he hasn't bought into that one - -

Maybe everyone has put us in their killfile ;-)

Do you know what type of Plecs they are or the L number? They do sound
neat...one of the places I go tends to specialize in Plecs and always
have a wide variety - I have a Snowball, a Queen Arabesque and a Leopard
from there...the only time he got it wrong was with the Leopard - he
told me it would only grow to 15cm and I took the chance of taking him
on his word....what he meant was 15" - eeekkk...Fortunately the Plec was
destined for the 6 foot tank :-)
