Pennywise The Clown Pleco

[Hollyweb]

Here is my little clown pleco, Pennywise. My roommate named him Pennywise because her sister hates clowns and she thought it would be amusing, and the name stuck. His favorite place to hide is right behind the heater, or in the barrel décor. He's very shy, so it's difficult for me to get pictures of him. I have to kind of sneak up on him with the camera because if he sees me, he immediately swims away to hide.

He's so cute!
 
What size is he approximately? 

 

[Hollyweb]

Blondie, he hasn't grown much since I brought him home. He's only about 2-3 inches long. Probably closer to 2 in.

Beware that he doesn't eat the children. ( he is a cute fish)

Cool pleco!

 

[Hollyweb]

thank you! He makes me smile. Of course, most of my fish make me smile because they're so much fun to just watch.
