Post in the marketplace and local fish club on fb. Make sure it’s free to better ur chances. I’m sure someone will take it off ur hands.

Plecos do go to the top to gulp air. But being that big in a 20. He's cramped. They can reach up to 2ft.

Go down to the local bulk store and buy a 55g plastic tub and set that up as a temporary holding tank. Are you doing massive daily water changes with treated waster?
