Pleco in USA, show off your pleco thread.

I need to see a video of how you guys catch these pleco, the pics look like your holding little toys lol Are they that easy to grab up ?

I'm curious with all the concern about how monstrous pleco get, why do some of you have several in your collection ? That's what kept me from getting more, one 100 foot monster I can handle but several eek..I amped the size of course, you know what I mean.
All it takes it's filtration and caves! Oh and money!
 
Lol plecostic your cracking me up! Just catch them like every other fish, or put the net over them then grab them with your hand, its very easy and usually when you hold their heads they dont move and just stick all their fins straight out, like how they would if a predator grabbed them so it couldnt eat or swallow them, its very easy :)

Also not all pleco get to that super monster size, there are lost of species that stay manageable :)
 
Here's my pleco collection ;)
