And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

Here's a picture: [link=http://img209.imageshack.us/img209/4999/pleco39bq.jpg]http://img209.imageshack.us/img209/4999/pleco39bq.jpg" style="COLOR: #FFFFFF[/link] I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash.

fishyhelper288 Fish Guru Posts: 2161 Kudos: 1951 Votes: 137 Registered: 29-Feb-2004	ok ,apparently he changes color, at some times thestripes go all up his body onto his head, and he gets spots on his dorsel fin, other times he has spots on his face and the dorselfin is clear..im gunna look at your pic again.. nope, i peaked at mine and compaired it with the photo, and those bigger spots up tords the head arnt there, and the spots on the head of the pick, only appear on mine's face Last edited by fishyhelper288 at 19-Nov-2005 18:55

You know what your fish looks like better than we do. If you can't get a photo of it, then start searching [link=here]http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/numbers/4.php" style="COLOR: #FFFFFF[/link].

Even a cell phone camera would suffice...anything to give us a basic idea of what the heck you've got. I know you've posted tank pictures in prior posts, so I know at the very least you can procure a camera of SOME kind The long way, of course, is to start from here: http://www.transfish.de/L1-25.html Last edited by Cup_of_Lifenoodles at 20-Nov-2005 10:57
