[jee]

his he cleaning the TANG ?  sooooo cute  
jacque rules!!! lol

[Boosterman]

Yup the tang goes up to him every couple of day's at least when I see it. He is the only fish that I have seen that will allow Jacque to clean.  but it's cool when you hear about it and then see it.

[toomanyfish]

That is so cool.  I never heard of that. 

[mseguin]

The cleaner shrimp at work come up to clean my hand, they can pinch pretty good trying to get the dead skin off.

[babblefish1960]

So they help with the annual sloughing? That would help the notorious freaky deaky dutch bad guy who was forever saving his bits of skin.

This is a picture I took this morning while feeding my tank. 

I purchesed this gold nugget from Big als innes a little while ago,  and he is quite a character,  not shy at all, he stood still and let me took about 20 pictures of him before I decided on this one. 

You will also see 2 Cherry shrimp hanging around him in the picture.

I highly recommend people purchese gold nugget plecos, they stay relatively small for a pleco and are also not shy plecos at all if given lots of hiding places, they are also great algea cleaners. 

The yellow on this guys tail isnt too great,  when buying them try to find ones with Strait thick yellow lines on there tail,I hope as this one grows it will correct itself.  My father has a gold nugget that would win fish shows anywhere its soo beutiful.  I will try to get a picture of him for next photo contest.

Thank you PFG ;p 

[SuperT]

Thanks PFG, sometimes the fish co-operate for more than a 1/2 second.

Aiglos (not to hijack the thread), can you tell me what you are feeding your plec I had a close look at mine tonight and their colour seems to be fading if thats possible.

Terry: His Diet Consists of Hikari Algea Wafers; HBH Vegtable flakes, I also feed ALOT of live/frozen food,  he loves whiteworms, and bloodworms, he also eats some brine shrimp.   The tank is also very planted and he spends alot of his time cleaning valisnaria which im sure he gets alot of nutrients from.
I believe that these fish thrive in planted tanks where they get the nutrients they need and the security they need to feel comfortable.  My father had his in a 90 Gallon Discus/denisoni barb tank and we never saw it,  he moved it to his 55 Gallon Heavily planted high light tank and the guy is all over the place now, always out and always eating haha.

Thank you PFG ;p 

Beautiful shot as well, Michael
