Yesterday, I purchased a small albino bristlenose pleco. I put him in the tank and everything seemed fine. This morning, I woke up to find him all dried out on the floor.:eek: I guess that he squeezed through a half inch opening next to the filter. It's the only way that he could have gotten out. I'm so heartbroken. :sad:I plugged that hole and I'm going to get a new one today, but it doesn't make the pain go away. I really liked him!

Does anyone have any experience with a pleco escape artist? I never heard of them before.:confused:
