Adopted Pleco

[F 1]

This is the rather large pleco that I adopted from a friends daughter who moved away to university. It was in a 10 gal tank, hence the permanently bent tail.

Thats sad, glad you rescued him though.
My LFS has a common Plec that was kept in a tank too small for him, and he has grown really fat and stumpy, He looks like a big teardrop but seems perfectly happy!!

Poor fishie! Well done for taking him on.

Please name him 'Bender'

Bender it is!

It came along at a perfect time. The convict parents in that tank had just killed my chinese algae eater (Jaws). I didn't know what I was going to do about algae. It was the perfect solution. It's so big that the convicts parents don't go anywhere it.
