thanks all
FYI (for those thinking of getting one)
these are one of the few plecos thatneed meat in their diet.
they often refuse food when moved, so once you have them at home
you must ensure they eat some meat asap.
I found mine wouldn't touch anything untill I
put some prawns in that had garlic guard (seachem) on them
after that he ate anything i put in there
Hikari pellets, musccle prawns etc
as well as the normal pleco foods, algae wafers etc
