Saffmonster Posted September 7, 2010 Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 Do you know where the the Apollo is? There's a fish place/aquatic centre near there. There's also one somewhere on Great Clowe Street Salford... I've seen a sign for it whilst driving around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 I have a few "suckerfish" in my tank, bristlenose plec's, a monsterous 18" plec and petricola's( coolest catfish there is but bloody expensive) Theres hundreds of species that could be classed as "suckerfish", finding the same one will be hard work but you should find something in any decent shop, if not try aqua classifieds.

This leads me to beleive he was a common plec, these can grow up to 20"/50cms!! BIG fish! If your tank is only little I'd surgest a bristlenose plec which generally only get 15-20cms..
