I've tried raw green beans and pole beans, as well as yellow wax beans and he isn't interested. I can't find a way to get peas to him, maybe ill try hand feeding them to him/her tonight. I really wish I knew what gender he/she is!

Other then the onion plants and the marimo ball, I have no idea what the others are. I buy what looks pretty and stick it in there and hope it grows.

Your pleco is obviously an alien invader from another world. :joe: :grinyes:

That's good. I like fish, but I doubt I'd boil my fingers for them. :hitting:

Seriously, he's (she's?) a pretty specimen. I still think you should enter that sepia "hand of God" picture in the freshwater POTM contest. :grinyes:
