RE: [GSAS-Member] "Mr. P" needs a new home



Hi Monica. I got my altums from Liems a few years ago. He gets them in from time to time.

I forwarded this to my friend (Lori) who might be interested. She has several good sized tanks. I had to laugh at your email though. I have a 14" pleco (Jeb), who sounds just like Mr. P. Where did you get your altums? I have been researching them for quite some time, and am hoping to get some this year. I have been talking with an exporter/importer in Thailand but am not so sure I want to have them shipped from that far, even though they can overnight it.

"Mr. P" is a standard issue plecostomus who has grown way too big for his tank (45 gal.) to the point where he, or she, trashes the aquascaping and poops out foot-long turds which lay all over the bottom and festoon the few plants that have managed to stay rooted. This is a living room tank. Not good.

"Mr. P" is in very good health, keeps the tank algae-free (eats mostly algae wafers) and seems to have a pleasant personality. Length is just under 12", nose to tip of tail, with a beam of about 2". Tankmates are two large altum angels and some giant danios. Water is very acidic (pH < 6.0) but I'm sure Mr. P would adapt to other water conditions.

Mr. P would be happy in a much bigger tank. Free to good home. Anyone interested? Email or call me at 206-938-1583.
