Behold. My 15+ year old pleco. Purchased in June 2008 at a Petco on Long Island. He survived a move up to Connecticut 8 years ago and has been moved into 3 different tanks because he’s about a foot long. He was my present for finishing kindergarten and I’m starting grad school next year.1yr ⋅ asbestos355677 ⋅ r/pleco
