[font="arial][size="2"]About a month or two ago someone brought in a misshapen pleco at the LFS I usually go to (see pictures below), I told her I'd take him once my tank was finished cycling. Yesterday I finally took him home, he's currently in my 125 gallon with my rope fish and South American cichlids. The tank I'm planning to put him in is almost done cycling, should take a day or two, it's 120 gallons and heavily planted. He's about 6", I don't think he'll get any bigger, he was kept in a 5 gallon is whole life, in a way he kind of took the shape of it. To the best of my understanding, as common plecos age and grow they become more interested in meaty foods rather than algae and vegetables. Has anyone kept a common pleco in a planted tank, if so, how'd it go? I could keep him in my 125 gallon, however I already have a pleco in there and I'd very much prefer to avoid aggressive and territorial issues. [/size][/font]
