Hi
well i think you are all gonna love this
I called the shop back today and said i was bringing the plec back and asked if i could bring the swordtail back, she asked why and i explained
She said a plec would take 10+ years to get that big and they rarely do, she said it would probably grow an inch every 2 yrs, i said in the long run anyway i wont be able to get a bigger tank, as we just havent the room.
She said she couldnt take the fish back anyway because the water from my tank would contaminate hers and she would have to quarantine the fish, and wouldnt be able to accept her new delivery on wednesday, i mentioned perhaps she could just net the fish in and not add my water, she then said thats just cruel as they have acclimatised to your tank, and she hopes that isnt what i done with the fish i bought from her (i did but i didnt want to admit that). aaarrrrggghhh
So i'm stuck with em i guess, she said she will get me another swordtail which will stop the aggression, and that i have read to many books, as the stunted thing is nonsense and the plec will be fine, if he gets that big the zoo will take him, she then laughed and told me that they had settled in fine and why mess with a good thing.
I dont know what else to do now
anyway must finally get round to some revision now, just remembered my A levels are this week. 
, they gave me algae wafers and said to add one every other day, which i've been doing, although the other fish in my tank are probably getting more of it than the plec, but he seems to feed day and night on the glass and gravel, i'll ask about it when i ring them, i was going to ask them to get in 3 corys then take the plec in when i know they have them.
