I'm not sure what Forum this belongs in, so if It bellongs somewhere else please let me know. I have an King Tiger Pleco, L066, that I bought a couple of months ago. When I got him his tail and dorsal fins were badly damaged. So far I haven't noticed any improvment. He eats well and is fairly active ...

I know they get big. I have them in seperate tanks. One of them is about 7in long now. He was in a 45gal tank and I moved hime to a 70gal tank. Now that he's in the bigger tank all he does is hide. He was a lot more active in the 45gal.

It eats both types of food. I believe it is a Pterygoplichthys gibbiceps.

When you say off color do you mean the lighter brown? The picture came out a little light. I was using ambient light without a flash. Are these really common? I have 5 of them and they sell at the LFS (in Japan through) for really cheap when small.

I think this is a Hypostomus plecostomus but want too be sure. if you need any other pics let me know.
Thanks for any help.

I feed it Sinking alge wafers at the same time as my chiclids and it still comes up to ge tthe chiclid pellets.

Has anyone ever seen a Pleco feed off the surface? Mine likes to come up and get chiclid pellets when I feed my chiclids. I've never seen this before. It's kind of cool to watch. He comes up and grabs one and then floats slowly to the bottom with his backside down until he reaches the bottom.
