A plecostimus for Christmas?

It sounds funny but my almost 3 year old asked for a fish tank and a plecostimus to live in it.  "What is a plecostimus?" you may ask.  Caleb will tell you it is a suckermouth catfish or an algae eater.  My dad has had a fishtank for awhile and Caleb has always loved it.  So Blake wanted to get one for Caleb as his big gift this year. 

The finished aquarium stand Blake made.

Caleb was super excited to go get his fish!
Blake created an aquarium stand and built it over the weeks leading up to Christmas.  He set the tank up in Caleb's room the weekend before Christmas so the tank would be all set for fish.  There was no way to make this a surprise gift, so Caleb got to go to the pet store with Daddy to pick out his beloved fish.  He proudly came home with his plecostimus named Beast and three pictus catfishes all named George.
