Gee, what a difference the background makes, huh? I often wonder if the fish actually 'see' the background through the glass; or if they even care ha haa. I have had the same background on mine for . . . . at least 7 years.

The first post, the 4th pic, I saw that pleco and thought, WOW, she's had that one for a while! Then further down you show the 2 plecos. I kept one in the tank when I was in the apartment. The tank was always getting algae, it was a light, bright apartment facing SOUTH, very sunny and nice to live in; except for the tank maintenance. Here at this house, however, I would actually have to FEED algae tablets to keep one, so I don't bother.

What a great set up.
