Take them to your LFS and swap them for something you do want!

Wait, no!!! Don't kill them. I know, I have the same problem. I never did my research, and went to the store and bought some fish. My parents never knew anything about fish, and it was my crazy idea. Now I'm stuck with a fish that will grow up to a foot too!!!!! Wait, how big is the fish now? If you keep it in that tank, it won't get any bigger. Yes, it's hard on the fish to have it housed in a very small tank. If you are going to do it in (PLEASE DON'T!!!), then the best way to not let the fish suffer is to.......... cut it's head off. Yeah, I know. A very harsh way, but it's better than letting the poor thing suffer by lifting it out of the water and watch it flip-flop around until it's dead. I've never done is beheading thing, and I won't, someone told me that. Another way is... to put the fish in a containor and put it in the freezer. There are plenty of ways to do so, but I'm not the type of person that would kill a fish. Even if I had to, it'll haunt me. I'm sorry I don't understand, but can you convert the liters to gallons for me? Please?

Surely the fish store ur friend got it from will take it back. And also ur common plec will get too big for your tank

3.78 liters is 1 gallon so his tank is 29.1 gallons. Save the fish.
