Technical Difficulties

The albino bristlenose plecostomus, who killed every tank mate he had and thus was clearly an Evil Albino, died sometime last night. For all that he was the psychopath of the Ancistrus world, I was fond of him, and I hope tiny algae-eating albino fish go somewhere really awesome after they die. In his case, I hope he gets to turn into the dragon he always wanted to be.

Boy is it quiet in here without the aquarium going.

So, for reasons that do not need exploring at this juncture, I had to charge the camera batteries and take some pictures this morning. And while I was at it, I thought I'd take some (very bad) pictures of the albino bristlenose plecostomus who joined the household on Saturday.

This is a seriously awesome fish, people. My crappy pictures do not do it justice.

(Of the four small household predators, only Catzilla has actually noticed the pleco; he is baffled as to why he can SEE it but not REACH it, but does not find it particularly enthralling. Which is just as well.)
