| Plecophobia
Is anyone else out there afraid of plecos? I don't know what it is about them, but they are so scary to me! They get to be HUGE! I'm scared if I stick my arm in the tank it will latch on to me. I have 3 little Otos instead of a pleco. I'm just curious if anyone one else out there has "plecophobia"... |

| I like my small plecos, fancy ones which only get 3-7" big. The common ones get too big and do creep me out. We had a 14" one in our 120g....what a big poopie mess he left.  | |

| I've had one latch on to my arm during maintenance, I flung my arm out and he took a dive across the room, he survived it though, it is such a weird tingly sensation, I screamed so loud my mom thought I was being electrocuted! and yes I am scared of them. and at this point he was like 10 inches long!

-fishlover78 |  That is the funniest thing I have ever heard!!! I can totally envision it too!
I'm scared of plecos as well. They look cool but there's something about them that freaks me out. | |
