Thanks. It was a craigslist rescue. I did not really look at it until much later as he just said it was a reg pleco so I put him in the tank with my gib. I got a 9" female Johana pike, a 15" ropefish, 5 clown loaches between 3 and 6", and 4 giant danios for $40. He was asking $20 but I felt guilty....
