wow its true, canadians really are stupid. plecos can grow upwards of 2ft.
you know the word "pleco" refers in general to the family Loricariidae, of which there are about 700 species and countless more being constantly discovered?
Whats the difference between an Australian and the Bible?? .....

If you don't want to keep the cons as a pair just keep a single male with a bristlenose and a bunch of fast moving fish like tiger barbs.
