My old Pleco "Killer" by name; died on Friday August 24, 2018. He was 11 years old and he lived a great life with me and he will be greatly missed.

He will be buried on my dad's property and where I can visit him anytime I come over.

I may get another Pleco next spring. I wish to wait and let the hurt I feel fade away so only the good
happy memories remain.

Note: If this isn't the right forum for this, please move. Thanks all.

Hi @KillerThePlecostomus,

Sorry for your loss. When you keep a fish that long, they really grow on you. Good luck forming a new bond with your next fish.

Cheers, Eric

P.S. Out of curiosity about "Killer," I looked up your old posts and found this:

I have had him since the end of May. He is so cool and I think he is the best thing that has come into my life. So, is this a Pterygoplichthys Pardalis?

This is Killer? Killer had a good life with you.

Yes it is. The was the first photo ever taken of Killer. He grew very fast before my eyes...

As of now, I have a friend who will get me a new Pleco and that means I must come up a good name for a new Pleco... hmm... Monster? It's cute because Plecostomus can grow to epic size!
