Does he look like this?

If so, he is a Green Phantom Pleco.
He'll grow to about 7"-8". Ours is only about half that size. They like bogwood and plenty of hiding places. We have caves made out of slate at the back of the tank and he hides in there. We've had him a couple of months now and he's started popping out a bit more. Up until then, we hardly ever saw him!
We put bloodworm and algae wafers in the tank and occasionally some cucumber. Never seen him eating, he normally does that at night.
Hope this helps!

i have a friend who picked a nice 5 inch L200 for £35 in Leicester a couple of months ago! its a lovely fish, at times you never see it, next time you look, its everywhere! it has a self-assured, almost arrogant, style! A truly beautiful fish.
