nice find cheddar254, great vid
We've got two of those sized plecs at work. It's amazing how they forage for food.

Cool vid cheesy(sorry,it's late...lol)
Lot's of us buy Plecos or Ancistrus when we start up a tank,thinking that they will sort out any algea problems we might have... Or even worse,get told so by the oke catching your new fish at the LFS's...
Most of the time they outgrow your initial system in a year or so - problem comes in when we try to catch them when we realise that we NEED to sell/give them away... due to the "armor plating they have - they tend to get VERY tangled up in nets - sometimes even injuring themselves badly...
Want to catch a big plec? Rather chase it in to a corner and reach for it by hand... if you grip it on the opperculum/gill cover,the fish will curl it's body into a reflexive "C" and maintain this untill you let go... Canthen be moved WAY easier than in a net...
My 2 cents worth on moving Pleco's...lol
