I get all your questions tonight.

Do you know which pleco you have now? There are 100s. The most common that would fit both your tanks would be a bristlenose pleco. Unfortunately lots of the big chain stores sell common plecos which are totally inappropriate for either tank as they can reach 12 inches in length and look totally stupid in small tanks.

If you have a bristenose you could either move or get another, but they are great at cleaning things up and just great fish all around so I would get one for each tank.

i think its just the common pleco but not 100% sure would you be able to tell from a picture or no?

Yes as long as its a photo, we should be able to identify it. Are you able to post a photo of the pleco?
