i was sold a common pleco under the pretence that it would be fine in my 180L tank. how stupid i was to believe them and not do my homework before hand!
so Mr Monster-fish (as my son so lovingly named him) is about 2 inches long right now. how fast do they grow? im sure someone on here said an inch a month??? any idea how old my pleco is at this side? and how long until he needs a bigger home - and ideally what size aquarium am i looking at? many thanks

mine did an inch a month up to about 8 inches, slowed down after that.
to keep for life i would say a minimum of 4x2x2 (feet) |
