Bought a Royal Pleco Wednesday night.
bout 2" for $20USD.
Brought him home spent nearly 2 hours acclimating the little guy to my tank even though my water is from the same source as the LFS.
Thursday morning maybe 14 hours after he got home I wake up turn on the lights look in the tank and see him peacfully sitting out in the open dorsal fin in the air looking very pretty.
Few hours later I notice he's still in the same spot so I watch more closely as a pictus cat swims over him and he doesn't move. So I stick my hand in the tank and get up next to him he doesn't swim off. So I'm like damn that sucks poor little guy I'd only had him for a little bit but I'd gotten fond of him.
Anyway despite the store having a no returns policy I took the fish and a water sample with me to them and since they know me and know I'm a regular and I know what I'm doing they decided it was just a freak thing and gave me my choice of store credit or cash refund on the pleco.
I took store credit since they've ordered in for me 4 more Angelicus Botias that I'll be picking up thursday since I have to work all weekend.
Heres one of the only pictures of him I was able to snap.
