They're a couple pretty guys.

Thank you : ) I do like the patterns. They look so awesome with their sails full and colors bright.

They are beautiful! they dont eat the plants?

These guys don't, But lil Lenny (4") in my 30 likes to suck on one plant in his tank that leaves it with some issues. These guys stay fat and happy off the red / brown algae that grows on the window side of my tank.

nice lil suckers (pun intended)

How big are they? They're beautiful

Dead flesh? No they just eat algae like nobodies business.

ah, I was wondering given the shape/form of the mouth it looks like other carrion scavangers/higher protien foods . . not so though eh. I'd always associated the wider mouthed catfish as the algae eaters . . paradigm adjusted!

So Ducky here is the cleaner fish for my African tank, He adjusted well to the higher Ph and doesn't seem to mind the sand.

He hangs around where the cichlids like to dig and ends up covered by the evening.

Wow, ducky looks very mean! lol But cool lookin'!

he gets real pissed at me when I get in the tank to move stuff. but the babies and juvy cichlids swim up and around him with no issues. He scares the crap out of me every time too, those big pokeys on his fins. And thrashing around they way he does when I scare him. lol.. oh well!

Ducky has grown, being the only pleco has allowed for some extra growth. Figured out the "Ducky" is also a male and my other pleco spike is a female. lol.. Thats what the kids get for naming fish. lol.. I saw a huge pleco the other day and wondered, does anyone know how big these guys get?? This big one I saw was 12" and really fat like maybe 3.5" around or more. big sucker!!

every feed him a slice of cucumber? My pleco loves em'... gone in a day.

Only Romain so far. But I intend to get some zucchini and cucumber for everyone. They already don't eat as much algae as they used to. Spoiled suckers! I got some snails yesterday though to take up the slack.

Yea.. mine is about 6" and very lazy about his job. Swims upside down to get floating flake food.

That's great! lol.. I just see these guys trying to hang on to the glass but slide down cause they are so heavy.. very comical.

wanna another one in a few weeks? @ 12 or so inch's

lol. no I got 3 already. I am moving toward smaller more intricately colored ones. something with some really nice patterns. Or like sands killer albino. Thanks though!
