My Clown Pleco

[CrazyAirborne]

just wanted to show off my little man. im seeing him more than i figured i would. and he definitely comes out at night! thats how i got these pics. turned the lights on and snapped a few before he could shuffle off. They are such cool looking dudes, wish they werent nocturnal! but its kind of a nice surprise seeing him i guess!

Woahh he look's awesome, Im after one of these, Will get one in a few weeks for my 60ltr Planted. I heard that they dont get big and stay under 8"

He is a stunner.

Yeah makes a nice surprise when you look at your tank and see a fish you dont normally see Keep's you interested i think.

Amazing fish, great plants i'm so jelous, what are you using to keep them growing so good? can i ask which camera you used?

 

[CrazyAirborne]

thanks for the kinds words!!!

Well my plants are growing cuz i have just the right amount of light for the amount of nutrients they are getting i guess, (i dont add anything special at all for the plants) just cheap play sand and platty poop is keeping them going. Ive had really good luck i think, havent lost a single plant with this tank yet!

The camera is a Cannon Rebel XTi with the basic 18-55mm lens. . you can get any camera to take pics like this really, its all about the lighting and the camera settings. Ive got the tank shots down pretty good now that ive been practicing for about a month.
