I seem to have been fairly successful doing this, so I thought I'd share how I did it (or how they did it) with those that are interested. The story with pictures (good pics too) are all right here:

One of my current favorites, though I do not keep any!

Wow! Just like that and you've tracked it down! Does it have a "common" name? Also, can you tell if the one I have is male or female?

Thanks!

You all have been AWESOME to me. I really appreciate it. It's so cool to be surrounded by so much knowledge and experience. While I'm at it, I may as well ask about my other plecostomus...

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I got this guy (or gal... not sure yet...) a couple weeks ago from my local fish store. I saw it in the bottom of one of the tanks and asked what it was and how much. The owner said it came in with the Clown Plecos but he knew it wasn't a Clown, but wasn't sure what it was. He sold it to me for the ...
