What Bottom Dwellers Plec's & Catfish ? Do You Own !

[B13]

I was mis-sold this lil' fella:

And I say 'mis-sold', coz the Saturday Boy * in the LFS told me they only grow to 6cms. Should have listened to my gut instinct coz I'd done my research beforehand and read that they grown to 20 inches, buuuuuut... I fell into the trap of thinking that a shop assistant would know more than me the newbie...

D'oh...



However, I luvs my currently-lil' plec and until he/she gets too big for my 3 foot tank, I'll keep him/her - then do a swap for a bristlenose.




(* This was the guy who told me that I need to feed it TEN bottom feeder pellets a night. Ten?? I'd have a plec the size of a moose!! It gets 2 plec wafers to share with my Siamese Flying Fox and whatever remains of the bottom feeder pellet that should be for the coolies, but gets' yummed down by my greedy piglet zebra danios... ...and the occasional bit of spud...)
