Hello all just thought i would write a quick post, just bought my second fish for my juwel 450 tank its a rusty pleco anyone own one in their tanks? what you think of them? my one is about 3 years old bought it off my local shop was quite lucky he came in from a regular customer 20 mins before i got there, i liked the look of him asked the shop keeper if he could get them in he said there hard to get hold of, so i exchanged 55 pound and took the fish home. put him in the tank yesterday his gone to the back left hand corner where i have a nice bit of bog wood and a couple of plants, think that might be his corner now. am well happy to get my first plec wo hoo

theyre cool fish. mind posting pics? they generally mind their own business and dont get too big. nice pickup!

If it's a "true" rusty pleco, then it's a , but I've seen some other similar looking species sometimes sold under this name. It's a pretty fish for it's group - it's part of the Cochliodon group Hypostomus which means that it will chew on wood for food.
