My monster
This is Vallu - the king of my biggest aquarium. He is Ancistrus sp., length is about 5,5" and 3 years old.
He is very different than my earlier pets - 3 lovely lhasas. Last of them passed away about 2 year ago.
Actually Vallu is very shy. He dosn't want to pose at all.

WOW!!! Very cool Pleco. Pleco's were my favorite bottom feeders when I had aquariums. The biggest one I had grew from 1 inch to 7 inches. It was black and it had night sky blue eyes. Very beautiful.

I have to dig out a photo from a trip to Brazil. We were in a local village and the fisherman came back with a basin full of fish. There were some plecos there, piranha and everything else that you find in a fish store.
One man's pet is another man's food.

That's awesome! What else do you have in your aquarium? I have a pleco, although nothing quite as cool as yours, amongst my cichlids. Love those guys though - they are just too cool!

How big is this fish Ludisia. I noticed you are from Finland, and you are probably using the metric system? Did you mean 5 feet 5 inches, or 5 and half centimeters?

The pleco is about 14 cm or 5,5 inches 
I've got pair of key hole cichlid
several cardinal tetras
six corydoras
six otocinclus
pair of paratocinclus jumbo
and Vallu
I had also harem of apistos, but they died. Now I try to find out why it happened?
Actually Vallu and his kind is very common here. If you put pair of these in the aquarium, it doesn't take long time when dozens of little plecos is swimming there
Meredith
What kind of cichlids do you have?

This is Macrobrachium lanchesteri female. Beware 
Just kidding, it is only about 2,5 inches. |
