That looks very similar to my common pleco, who will grow HUGE. I am looking at getting a 3ft tank for mine for a few months, but when i have had some work done on my house I am getting a 6ft tank for him.

I reckon that is a Sailfin Pleco. Wont grow quote as big as common but you will still need a good sized tank.

dependent on exactly what it is, it could well grow to over 20 inches. and 14 of so is almost a forgone conclusion.

ok, so how fast do they grow? if they grow fast would it be best for me to take it back so that it can go to a better home where it would have the space to grow?
