Teeny baby Snowball plec!!

OMG it's the dearest little spotty creature, she sort of walks on her fins, moves around like a little insect and damn she's quick!

We had 2 on order but the boy is a little late coming, he will be here on Tuesday, but you have to see this tiny thing to believe how increadibly cute she is :wub:

She looks like a little girls hair bow with her black colour and teeny white spots. I am smitten.
 
Sounds lovely :) , make sure though that she really is a snowball though as they are hundreds of spotted plecs out there or ones that have "snowball", "blizzard", "snow" or other similar things in their names- alot of juevenile plecs can look completely different from their adult forms as well :nod: .
Make sure she gets some fresh high protein foods ASAP, you can check out my plec feeding thread in this section if you like as well :thumbs: .
Heres a planetcatfish profile on snowballs with juvenile pics as well;

ps: Are you keeping her with the sailfin?
 
Definately L102 :)

And no, she's not going in with Malc, I fear Malc is just a little bit too big for her. Bonnie & Clyde stay out of his way, Scott is willing to hook it up with Bonnie at any given moment (they fight over one particular cave all the time!) but Scott wont tangle with Malcolm. I don't think Malc would ever hurt any of them, he has lived with another sailfin all his life plus a few ordinary fish, but as big as his butt is, I'm scared he will lay on her and squish her :lol:

Baby spotty often sucks on to Nessie's side by accident, but Nessie is a much more sensitive creature then Malc is. Nessie just shoos her away. Malc would probably just roll over.

Nessie is now tame enough to be petted, she will let me touch her face and barbels, and stroke down her head and sides.
