Plecostopuss struck again...I accidentally dropped a pleco disc (new can) into an open box 'o stuff on the floor. He darn near tore the box up diggin for that ONE disc.

I've been wondering what species mine was, thank you for the thread I have one that looks almost exactly like yours!! He somehow can actually OPEN my flake food and loves to eat it!!

This one is a ground feeder who likes to sniff the carpet for scraps after I've finished feeding the fish. She also enjoys eating entire containers of algae wafers and shrimp pellets in one sitting.

Mine was about that size when we got him. I asked for an orange CAT, little did I know he was actually a common orange plecostopuss...growing like one too!
