Pleco rescue

[ArtPleco]

I got these two from tropical fish world. They were in the same tank together, so getting them both was a must. The Columbian zebra was looking thin and malnourished and the clown was blind, I mean no eyes. Not sure if born this way or not. Being that it was in a tank where no harm could happen, but not sure about previous tank life. If he had eyes before I would feel even more sad as I could not imagine the thought and pain.

So with out further writing, here the are. Sorry for lack of Columbia zebra as he/she is very shy!!

Nice pickups. A lot of time, a cichlid takes out the eyes of a pleco. Wholesalers will double up like that and it's always a bad idea.

That is what I have heard too. But never saw any of them in tank. And they have been there a long time, but who knows? He is in good care now.
