i have a common pleco that is probably 8 inches, 4 goldfishes that ranges from 2-3inches. These guys are pretty peaceful so i don't think they would be bullying them?

now i don't know what to do since the pleco was a present from my gf. What if i move the pbass to another tank and grow them out a little more before putting them back into the tank?
