 I'm very sad because I have had my "Ugly" for about six years and whilst I was at work the other day Sarah rang to tell me the she had found "Ugly" on his back and very much dead! He was such a handsome boy, that why we called him Ugly! He was very big for his breed, about 20cm long. ..... Who or what is Ugly I hear you say......  He was my pet Glyptoperichthys gibbiceps!... or more commonly know as leopard Sailfin Pleco or Plec for short!! I miss my Glyptoperichthys gibbiceps! But never fear I have bought his baby brother, who about an inch long and i'm looking forward to seeing him growing up!

I have to say I didn't enjoy fishing him out, he was just sooo big ewwwwwwwwwww. It was a bit sad, but he lived to a good age , and hopefully little ugly will grow to a nice size  |

Thanks, Baby ugly is so small and cute! Would you believe it, we have Lesbian Silver Dollar Fish in my tank!.... and no i'm not kidding! They got randy and tried to mate.... how do I know this, because there were hundreds of eggs at the bottom of the tank after they had been rubbing each other up for ages! How do I know they are lesbians.... because the eggs didn't get fertilised! and I had them sexed... and they are both females!!  ...(not that there is anything wrong with lesbian fish, just so we are clear!!). |

They probably watched too much Willow & Tara on Sarah's "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" tapes! |

My new fishes seem to be doing better now! Little ugly is stuffing his face and his mate the upsidedown catfish is growing quicker than him! I never really realised how much work keeping tropical fish was till I got this new tank, when I look back, i'm suprised any of my fish were alive! Hopefully poor ugly's death has taught me a thing or two and my other fish are gonna get the best treatment they could hope for (in a tank anyway)!!  |
