All of my bottom feeders (clown loaches and panda corys) carry a common name theme: "The Munsters"!!!! I have "Addams Family" names in there also. My favorite clown loach was "Marilyn." Unfortunately she died about a year ago. I also have:

Eddie
Lilly
Herman
Spot (he's a biggie!)
Grandpa
Lurch
Gomez
Morticia
Pugsley
and.......Uncle Fester ............he's a big fat and bald pleco

Add Synodontis Decorus to my list as I scored 2 yesterday.

Great choice. I just love my fella.

add to my list a Synodontis eupterus. Finally found the Featherfin syno.

my largest tends 2 eat the algae wafers i put in, or the cucumber, both of which r aimed @ my plec, but most of the time my CAE hides @ the back of the tank bhind sum driftwood

smilingpiranha,
Yeah he's a big fella all right. Just be careful when they get that size. They tend to stop eating the algae and go for fish instead. They suck the fish's slime coats. Mine don't eat much algae anymore, he like the frozen blood worms, and the flake. Also pumpkin and zucchini. When he is pretty hungry, he darts all around the tank, bumping into other fishys as he goes. This alone is where I think he might hurt them. Not intentionally. Just a big, clumsy , hungry fishy.]

holy cow, 8"?
but then agen, 1 of mine's gotta b bout that size aswell:%):%):%):%)

Holy cow, is that a Chinese algae eater I see in that log? He's HUGE!!

My dad had the unidentified catfish when I was only 5 or 6 and they died long before I knew what a catfish was. The pleco got too big for my tank and I had to give it away.
