he's about 5" or so. Not too huge yet, but you're right, he's solid. Eventually I figure I'll have to find a nice pond and let him live out his years in freedom.
armadillo, yeah, it's warm here, but a bit hazardous. I remember a few years ago in the news someone was trying to catch a wild pleco and got bit by a gator...
I remember the Netherlands. I was in the Army in Germany in the 80's and visited Amsterdam. I don't remember it too well, but I do remember it was very pretty.
I'm NEVER getting married again... the first time was a nightmare, and things since have just gone downhill.* At this point I figure it's easier just being alone.
Anyway, I thought this was pretty funny... it's a picture of the cucumber... 15 minutes after dropping it in the tank!
15 minutes! You're kidding. That's some smart fish you've got there.
Well, I sometimes feel that way too when things are not rosey, but then the positive completely outweighs the negative in our case. We do take it one day at a time and consider ourselves lucky that it's not gone haywire yet. Am a huuuuuge pessimist for that sort of stuff.
Jim just one small suggestion... when putting slices of veggies in the tank, cut through the peel a little bit. A pleco that has a ring caught around it is reeaalllyyy hard to catch(take my word for it )

this is the first time i put fresh veggies in my tank. UD loves them, and my mollies nibble a little 2. i didn't have any weights, so i stuck a fork in the CUC, and threw it in. somehow UD managed to get under the fork!
Kramer has finally started to be a little less shy and come out more during the day. I finally remembered to buy a cucumber while grocery shopping. At first, just my rosy barbs were going nuts for it...but then Kramer found it. He loved it!
I took some pics, but they didn't turn out the greatest.* They're on another computer, but I can pick out the most decent looking shots and post them later.
