Gasp! My Pleco Is A Vampire!

[Gankutsuou]

So... many people fear about their plecs sucking on slime coats and such... but... who fears them sucking on blood?

I'm scared to turn off my lights after seeing... my VAMPIRE PLEC!

okay. so there are waterspots. and it's not really sucking blood. but everyone needs a good attention getter

I just found that funny, and it also introduces my L168, the butterfly pleco, whom my queen arabesque has gladly befriended right off the bat. Heck, my queen is even hiding in the bogwood now. I'm relieved it abandoned it's glass corner to go hide with him/her.

Here's some day pics of the "vamp" avoiding the light. good quality to make up for the waterspots.

And a random pic of an "angel in the light"

I couldn't help myself. I turned the lights on at night, and the queen arabesque's eyes stayed red for 3 minutes... But you have to admit. Plecs fit the theme of vampires. Not coming out in the light unless there's a strong sense of food.... and always hiding among the community....

is a vampire pleco the same as a queen arabesque, because I swear that's waht the black pleco looks like, exactly like gank's arabesque.

 

[Gankutsuou]

kuhni - I thought by now it was obvious. it's a joke

It was just that it kinda looked like the queen arab was going to suck blood or something.

There were some at Blagdon a while ago. £25 for one at 2.5".
You could easily ask them to order more in.

 

[Gankutsuou]

heh. I got some much better deals than that

L168 - $30 USD
L260 - $29-35ish. Forget which. in that area.

editL and I couldn't get good pics tonight. they ran away too fast. but I'll try again.
