llcoolvadSo for many many years we've had a small, 20-gallon fishtank at work. We only had two fish, a huge flesh colored cichlid, and a really big plecostomus.
When the cichlid died this fall, that only left the pleco, and as I was the only one caring for the tank I decided that my friend![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cicadabug, the proud owner of several very large fishtanks, could benefit from my pleco's algae-sucking action.
She was having a party anyway, so I (with much trauma and no little assistance fromp_j_cleary) managed to bring the poor fish on an epic journey of 100 miles and 2 hours in a small glass jug. He survived, and this is his new fishy home.
50 gallons of crystal clear water, tons of tiny friends to hang out with, and real plants to nibble on. And check out the algae! Happy.
He's the GINORMOUS fish in the middle of the tank, hanging on the wall.
A close up:
Yay, happy fish!
