Meet Snowflake

[CassCats]

Picked this gorgeous little one off a local selling off their fish as they were getting out of the hobby (i paid an incredible price for such an expensive fish)

Young galaxy pleco species (identified as L240)
Hes a bit shy, and settling so he hasn't come out of hiding in the tank, but he's beautiful.

He was listed as a snowball on their ad, but oops he is a galaxy/vampire based on his teeth according to planet catfish.

correction on identification, this is a L240 vampire/galaxy pleco

I'm gonna need a larger tank for him once he grows me thinks though.

Fish goes for about $60-70 USD.
I paid $10CAD, which translates to $7.50USD

That is less than I payed for my Albino BNP!!

So glad he found a great home - take good care of him! He’s a gorgeous fish.

Oh, forgot this photo. Side view of this guy while acclimating (I put them in containers with old water and slowly add water from their new tanks, then net them out and put into new tank over the course of 30-45 minutes). I also picked up one of the seller's Java loaches too since I've already got a whole shoal of them anyways.

But you can see he is a little guy still.

Very shy guy, been sneaking terrible photos of him when he ninjas out of hiding
