Marty Posted November 2, 2006 Author Share Posted November 2, 2006 i know although belive it or not you can buy fish off ebay and have them posted to you!! they use some sort of special highly oxygenated water, then bubblewrap the fish in the bag of water like mad to keep heat in Still, im not willing to do that. If it doesnt sell i might just have it with chips Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marty Posted November 2, 2006 Author Share Posted November 2, 2006 I might be interested but need to know how many minutes per side and does it go well with chips? Not too sure on the cooking time, not munched this variety before its got a fair bit of meat on so would make a nice meal, with chips and some tomato sauce. Or you could have it as a snack on some bread and butter.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steak ? isnt that what your meant to feed them?!! You can get a few different types, that look similar, maybe she had one of the onse that dont grow so big? saying that though, i've not seen any as big as mine, even in the blue planet aquarium that i went to the other day He sold for £1.21 by the way, bargain, as pets at home sell large plecs for £40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marty Posted November 13, 2006 Author Share Posted November 13, 2006 Weird The fella is coming to pick up the pleco this week, i'll be sad to see him go in a way, he can have the smaller one of the two i think (13"), the smaller one the one that gets constantly chased by the bigger one, think it'd appreciate its own tank Hes a pic of the bigger one, hes 15", hope he dont grow much more Not the best of pics as my camera phone couldnt get the light right.
