Hi all,
I've had plecos in the past and now my girlfriend got me
a fluval edge for my 40th.so went shopping for a nice pleco.
Came across this lovely 2" imperal tiger (L333).got him
after the tank had been set and running for 2 weeks.
Not seen him much, he hides in a cave in the day time and
only comes out at night and feeds.I've also seen a snowball
pleco, would these 2 get on?would love to get him.any way great
web site,cheers.

Hi ya, yeah thats my current collection. As for buying fish in Crawley, you have 2 maidenheads to get your bread and butter fish. As for buying plecs, you really need to travel atleast a hour to get a decent selection. Often travel to Essex, London, Brighton and Eastbourne to get a good selection!

And as for the bigger tank, just buy it and let her deal with it!
