About 6 months ago we bought what we thought was a miniature shark. The "expert" said he wouldn't get over 2 inches long. Well here he is all irate because the snail is in his favorite hangout. He rams him and slaps him with his tail. Mack the shark is now about 6 inches long and getting bigger every day. We are preparing a bigger aquarium to transfer him and his snail buddy to bigger digs.
Here is the shark and snail in heated battle over a choice spot. This is a while ago and both were much smaller:
Here is Mack as a baby playing in the aerator......awwwwwww....snif.
Here is our Plecostomus and his giant snail buddy. Plecky is pretty much a vacuum cleaner. He roams around cleaning up algae and small fish flakes. He and the snail are still growing rapidly. Some of these snails can get as big as a baseball.
Here's Cleo thinking she's being a bad girl:

Pleckie is a sweet heart, he wouldn't hurt anything.......would he??!! Tell me he won't. I already had a tarantula that would bang the iron grate on his terrarium up and down in the middle of the night. I don't need another escapee from the mind of Stephan King.

Plecos develop a really hard skin which lets them wander pretty much fearlessly. Once they realize that the bites now tickle, they tend to take over the tank.

You know your life is really boring when you're reduced to watching a soon to be oversized "pet" fish swim around in a square tank!
What's next? a yard full of pit bulls?

You know that kind of looks like him. They say they taste funny.
