They made me do it

I went into a LFS earlier, I spent all morning, saying to myself over & over...

'I am only buying a book and some bits...'

I went into the LFS, with my folks (they were buying stuff for the dog) and one of them said...

'AAAAWWWW, Isn't he beutiful'

That was it, all my work undone, then the voices started, saying 'please help me Rich' along with the sound of little fins tapping on glass

When I got home (I had a strange memory loss period) I found myself with an empty wallet and a bag full of water with a lovely plec in it

So the moral of the tale is listen to mp3 or something when buying bits or the voices will get you

I dont know what the plec is yest, but I think its a Leopard Frog Plec but I will look him up properly when he's been settled in for a few days, I a doing a blackout on the tank for a few days anyway so this will let him settle in peace for a while, pictures to follow when I get the chance

Hope for your sake he isn't a man made abberation that will grow to 6foot!

Looking forward to pics then

Pics When I go I never bring money!!
I get someone else to pay. That way I can't go OTT

The same thing happened to me, Rich.

I suggest you post a photo on Plecofanatics to get a definitive id as they were very helpful to me when I was trying to identify my new plec.

do you know what it is yet mate? I love plecs

It is my FIRM belief that they put something in the water at all lfs, and once you walk in and inhale it, you are doomed!!!

I often stumble into a LFS without even noticing & come home with fish, tanks or both

I think they are more devious than that i think they put them in poor conditions so you feel sorry for them and take them home when really their tanks ar really big with just a coloured partion in the tank lol
