My friend (only to say hi and bye too) invited me around her house to see her tank, this guy (i believe a common, please correct me if im wrong) was in her tank along with tinfoil barbs (8"+), and angel fish, a cichlid of some sort (couldnt really see through the water) along with some others.
There was one sponge filter in the tank no light, air bubbles werent working, and i would dare say, it was no more then 30 gallon.
I persuaded her to take out the larger fish, and i insisted on putting the pleco into my 100 gallon. Now, the poor little thing is about 4 years old and as you can see not much bigger then my index finger, maybe a little smaller. It has a VERY thin tail end, which to me looks a little odd. It eats like a pig, but in a month iv not seen any sort of growth, just a podgy belly!
Will it ever grow again? i hope it will live a long healthy life with me, but i have my doubts. Any thoughts or advice would be fantastic.
