Okies, well for one thing I may have found a home for him to go to once he gets bigger, not sure though. And also, I just cleaned the tank, which had me cleaning up half of the gravel {I know all about that healthy bacteria stuff} because it was full of waste and the fish cleaner thingy just picked it up anyways {its like... sand...} and yeah... I really need a fish that likes to dig in sand...
but anyways back to the point, I got some pictures of my fishy... naturally my camera acted up on me... -sigh-
but yeah these are pretty much useless cept for size idea... {my father held the pleco for a few shots because the camera confused him... he couldn't believe you could zoom with it......}

Yeah Tiny now really enjoys making it as challenging as possible to catch him, so I take it that he is healthy again.
Now all I need to do is figure out why my male guppies are so much smaller than my female... -sigh-

You should be able to pick up a bristlenose in any pet or aquatic store. They are very common, and probably the cheapest type of pleco.

Also if they do have babies, you can sell them back to your LFS. You won't get much for them, but maybe a tub of food.

Yeah I don't want to buy from the local fish store though.
All of the ones that would have a bristlenose would be like... abusive to their animals... The fish don't get treated as well as I would want my baby to be... so yeah...
I also don't want a hybrid that will somehow manage to grow too big for the tank...
And yeah I did give my old pleco to a store once... now he is in with a type of pirannha. x.x
