Finally got my Royal Pleco that i have wanted for some time now! He seems to be doing very well! He's in an isolation tank right now and will be going in a 75 gallon when he's ready. Here are a few pretty bad pictures, but i'll be sure to get some better ones after he destresses.

Thanks! The Zebra Pleco is the most expensive one i know of. I wanted one for a while, but i'm not willing to dump that kind of cash on a pleco.

Thanks! Plecos are awesome...definitely one of my favorite fish!

I really like that guy.

They are capable of reaching 16+ inches, but grow VERY slowly. They actually require driftwood as part of their diet. I thought that was kind of funny.

Here are a few more recent photos. The fish is in his perninant home now with the Clown Loaches and Severums. His colors are beetr now that he has destressed. The water was still a little cloudy from the new sand, so they arent the best pics. Let me know what you think!
