So a sweet lesbian couple who have been regulars at our store for years are moving and planning on traveling and can’t take their tank and they brought us their amazing collection of plecos to put in our 40,000 gallon tank and this one was by far my favorite. It’s known as a vampire lyretail pleco and I squealed when I saw it.

I’m going to post the other things they brought us too.

The tank they had their collection in was something like 275 gallons and they were all so well taken care of. Some of these fish are probably at least fifteen years old

A quick paint study of one of the coolest and weirdest fish in the ocean: the giant oarfish.
They are rarely seen alive and some say that the largest one found was 17m long. They live quite deep in the ocean and apparently hang vertically in the water (not as i’ve drawn it ) and use their strange dorsal fins to move up and down without moving their bodies. They only surface when ill or close to death and sometimes wash ashore on beaches.
They are believed to eat zooplankton and small fish/squid and they have no swim bladder or scales. O.o
