no it is not an animal cruelty question. i am just wondering how big my pleco could get in my 30 gallon tank. i only have a 30 gallon and i cant get a larger tank bc my parents wont let me. its as simple as that.

i dont want to trade in my common pleco, whose name is Lizard, in and get a bushy nose for a few reasons. 1) i like Lizard more. 2) nobody in the area sells bushy nose plecos. 3) if i get rid of Lizard one of my best friends will get mad at me and i wouldnt hear the end of it.
I second the other responses. Get a bristlenose. The 30 gallon will only cramp the pleco and agitate him. He'll throw his weight around and live in a constant state of stress. I keep albino bristlenose and they're great--very active during the day, don't grow over 3-3.5 inches, and do a killer job on algae, especially brown. They also can adapt to a wide range in ph. Great personality and the males are cool looking. Some brown bristlenose males may grow to 4 inches but are slow growers. Do what's best and find the pleco a bigger home. good luck
ok i will try to find my pleco a home. but i will have to wait till summer to move him. i have a question though. if i do find someone that wants a big pleco, how big should the tank be?
just for referance, about how big do think the pleco should have been when i should have gotten rid of it?
I think i need to disinfect my eyes after the vileness of this post..............
poor plec.
If only we had the option of flagging this as Animal cruelty. Plecos have not evolved for a million years just to end up in a 30gal.......jesus.
