My New Flash Pleco - L204 Aka Sam Jones

[fm1978]

Hello everyone!
 
Just received this little guy this morning from Kesgrave Tropicals...
 
I have named him Sam Jones - if you don't know why, you're not old enough to remember the Flash Gordon movie!
 

 
Not great quality but I'll get more once s/he settles...
 
Say hello to my little friend!

Hello little friend!
He's cute!

cool lookin dude, he cost much?

 

[fm1978]

He is both cute and cool!
 
I didn't think he cost all that much...about £45/$70 including delivery. I thought that was pretty reasonable for such a lovely creature!

Nice. How big will she/he get?

Nice. How big will she/he get?

Only about 5", as far as I know. I hope that's about a perfect size for my tank @ 200l.

I didn't think so until I saw 1 in my LFS for £20 yesterday...d'oh!

It's not about the money anyway...

How much was the delivery?! If you paid £45..... I can get one for £9.50

Thats a really nice pleco. I am not jealous at all..............

 
Flash Gordon with the unforgettable Brian Blessed, pretty much a crap movie but a classic to all those above a certain age!! LOL
 
Flash Gordon, Quarterback, New York Jets!

Barnsley, South Yorkshire. There's a shop called Aqua Inn. They have Flash Pleco's(gorgeous ones too!) for £9.50 each. I was tempted to get one before I got my Rubber Lip from my boyfriends shop but I fell in love with the Rubber Lip before I got the Flash. I don't think they'd mix well in my 20 gallon so I'm just keeping the one.
