ok that is what i thought .,. just wanted conformation i would never let this beauty go ... and even though this is a common pleco i think he looks wonderful in my tank .... except he poops way more than the other fish in there and it is light colored sand so you can see it well guess i will not ...

So I am always looking for a deal ... as i am sure we all are ... I was checking out fish tanks on craigslist ... it had been a couple of weeks so i started at the bottom about7 days ago and worked my way up ... well i kept seeing a 55 gallon tank with wood stand in the same section of town i am in ...
