Could My Pleco Go Live In The Zoo?

[ZephyrStarPlaties]

I know what you're thinking; I'm not trying anything illegal here

My parents got a sailfin pleco, and since they didn't know how to care for it put it in with my two ryukin goldfish. It's a 55 gallon so I know I can keep the goldfish, but the pleco has certainly outgrown the tank. My local zoo has an exhibit that accepts uncared for plecos, do you think he'd make it? I know this is silly, but I can't help but think he's too tame to make it in a zoo tank.

Should be fine. Most fish even if tame retain most if not all instinct for survival.

Depends in the current inhabitants, whether or not he has a high immune system, succeoatbility to diseases, but if others have made it then I don't se any reson why he shouldn't eaither
