This placcy doesn't believe that he should only eat algae - if we put new fish in the tank they disappear - he is now about 8 inches long

We used to have a big aquarium but i had to sell it when i had my little lad because i couldn't look after it anymore. We had a big plec to he/she never used to munch on the other fish though lol

Fab pic - I had a plec years ago and LOVED him so much - they are great although I did have some missing fish here and there too come to think about it!!!!!

Your plec still has plenty of growing to do. They can grow upto 18inches long and have quiet wide and deep bodies. Plecs mainly live on a diet of veggies, but the odd fish goes down well, lol. I would consider finding him/her a decent size fish to live with such as a Tiger Oscar, they will stand their ground but you need a decent size tank 3ft plus!

hi fish people my name is derick i keep tropical fish i dont have a pelc, but i have a red tailed black shark who is a real bully, he never leaves all the other fish alone, but he is a great looking fish,

ahhhh now i know what i have just been looking at in your tank Derick,,,,

Aww he's a lovely plec, i used to have 2 in my tank, i called them Posh & Becks, they got to big though as they reached over a foot each in size, so we rehomed them.

When i try to take photos of my tank they always come out rubbish, yours are fab though.
