Re: flat sucker.



Wayne: As several have already mentioned,it sounds
like  a Hillstream Loach of some type,generally sold
under such common names as Borneo Sucker,Hong Kong
Pleco,Butterfy Pleco,etc(the more imaginative the
wholesaler/LFS Manager,the more imaginative the name:)
  If this is what you saw 
http://www.loaches.com/beaufortia_kweichowensis.shtml
Then,you should also read Martin Thoene's article on
the same site call "Hillstream Loaches: The
Specialists At Life in the Fast Lane"
http://aquaweb.pair.com/LOACH/hillstream_loaches.shtml
Read Martins article,and if you feel you can provide
the necessary conditions,then by all means buy
some,they can be very entertaining,but you will find
their life span very short if the needed conditions
are not provided.
