Sup MFK,
Alright, I recently noticed my Pleco growing a bit misshaped.
I think I may have stunted him.
He was given to me as an Alligator Pleco at about 3", but I think he's just a regular common Pleco. He's at almost 8" now, and still growing.
He started off in a long 20 gallon tank, then upgraded into a 29 gallon tank, and now he's in a 75 gallon tank.
His tail is heavily misshaped. I don't know if I stunted him, because he's still very active and he's still growing. But his tail has me really concerned.
Here are some pictures.
He seems fine, eats, swims about, but his tail is crooked.
One from the rear.
Is there anything I could possibly do at all? Or is it already too late?
I really don't want to give him away, he's an awesome little guy, but if that's what it takes I'll do it.
