Hi, very nice Pleco. He looks good against the dark substrate. Mine is 11" and doesn't root the plants up! I only have 6 plants, a large piece of Mopani and 3 small ornaments in a 65ukgal tank to give him plenty of room to manouvre.

He was my nephews fish for about 6-8 months in a 2ft1ftX1ft tank with 6 head and tail light fish but he did not look after the fish properly so i took them over i've had them for 6 weeks, i.ve bought a bigger tank 3ftx18"x12" set it up Cost about £150 plus, only to find out he's a common pleco and i need a much bigger tank he,s about 7" at the moment

Well my 65ukgal is big enough at the moment. It is 4ft long by 2ft deep and is 20" from back to front. If he turns out to be really huge I will have to get a 100ukgal tank. I am hoping he is fully grown now but he does have a lot of rays on his dorsal fin which indicates he will be a larger fish. I am guessing he is a he, I don't really know. What will you do if your fish turns out enormous? Get a bigger tank or build an indoor pond?

Hi Morgan. I will try to get a bigger tank i dont think the couple down stairs would like it if i dug a indoor pond if i am unable to get a bigger tank a friend of mine works in security, at a place that's got enormous tanks over a 1,000 Gallons i think he would get lost in a tank like that, but he will be much more happy
