Do you remeber when...

If it's about fish in general, or it's a little bit random, then this is the place to post it.

Do you remeber when...

Post by Jools »

Anyone remember when they saw a zebra pleco for the first time? Here's the cover when TFH introduced it. The editorial makes amusing reading; we've come a long way.

It is quite impressive how much the husbandry of this fish has moved on. I wonder when the "new Zebra Pleco" will arrive in our livingroom tanks!!!

It is easy to forget just how recently this fish was brought onto the market, and how quicky it has depleted in numbers over recent years.

Cheers for that jools.

Neo...... I didn't think you were born in 1988.....LOL :wink: :D

The cigarettes and beer have done the opposite to me, making me look late 30's instead of late 20's :lol:
