LARGE Plecos, LARGE Oscars, looking for homes in South FLA
Hi Guys. I am looking for homes for my Pleacos and Oscars. You can see fotos at this album : http://redtailboa.net/gallery/showal...id=193&uuid=63
Lets see : the two plecos are extremely big, 6 to 8 inches. The share a large 90G tank with one of the oscars. I think these plecos are ready for a pond.
Oscar #1 is on the 90G with the plecos. I want to keep the tank.
Oscar #2 jad to be separated from #1 due to fights. He resides in a 40G tank. That tank, filters, etc can go with him.
All this is in Miami, South Dade near the Zoo. I won't ship. but would be willing to meet people within a 100 mile radius for pickup.
I am going right now to take more recent pics. The should be uploaded to the album in the next 10 mins or so...

Wow, memory lane. I did a google search and came up here. Notice this post from 2004... so what happened to the Oscars and Plecos, you say?
Oscar #1 died. I don't know why, he had some kind of attack, and floated to the bottom of the tank. I was sad to see him go like that.
Oscar #2 relocated to the big tank, to live with the Plecos. And there they have been until this week. Oscar #2 developed a bad tumor on his head, which seemed to grow internally. He lost sight on one eye, but continued to move well, and eat well. As long as I saw him eating, I figure he was ok. A couple of weeks ago he stopped eating completely. Not a bite. His health deteriorated to where this last few days he was swimming sideway and not looking well at all. I decided it was time to go and finished his ordeal.
The pleacos are still there. I am planning on building a pond in the next couple of months and they could be the first ocupants. 
Time flies...

6 to 8 inches isn't a large pleco. They get huge in ponds. I was a fish hatchery in Florida once several years ago and a guy that ran the place pulled a big one out by the spike to show me what a big one really was. He was standing up straight holding the fish near his waste and the tail was in the pond under water. This thing had to weigh 40-50 pounds.

It might be one of those situations where they don't get larger because of the space. The 900G is barely space for one of them, let alone two. They are about 8 to 10 inches I think... each. And they are over 6 years old.
Either a pond or they need like a 200+G freshtank each, and I barely meet anybody that keep fresh tanks that big...
