nightmare on Captain's street...

HOLY OTO Batman I just looked at one of the fish, while in the box, at work... the picture I posted earlier… the last one I took out of the box, once home, really is a GIANT…
This one goes 6 inches, it’s bigger than my Gold Nugget Pleco…
This one I put in an algae covered holding tank…
The( 2 ) 4 inchers, went into the 45 gallon that I planned to put them in
This one is the giant channel cat, of the Oto family

This is one is about 5 inches, ( the mid sized of the 3 ), on a Repashi stick in the 45 gallon… will see how they color up in a few days

They must be able to change colors at least a little… the one on the Repashi stick pictured above, still looks the same color… this is the smallest one, and is darker, I assume because its on the black filter tube…. but they may get lighter as they get bigger??? a couple of days in the tank will tell...

This is the smaller darker one from the pictures yesterday, at first full light, the next day… taking on more of the normal Oto coloration…
BTW… of the 3 I got, one is 4 inches, one is 5 inches, and one is 6 inches…

I'm thinking now with these fish added, this tank will also get fed Repashi Soilient Green, & I'll supplement the Natural Algae with the Bacter A E as well...

mmm, human as a food

Cool fish, though. I shall henceforth refer to them as pointy plecos.

We need to get a bunch for them for @CaptainBarnicles

Just curious, without looking it up how many people in this forum understand the "it's people" reference.

I'm old... I get it, but don't remember the name of the movie anymore...

I looked it up... Duh...
