I think cory meant that your Pleco is already stunted, which may well be true.

You wanted signs a common plec was in danger in a ten gallon ... so I ''attempted'' a funny.

As everyone has already said, just being in a ten gallon tank puts a common plec in danger.

yes i know but at the moment hes only 2.5 inches long, i do hope to get a vey big tank someday, maybe in the next year or so. once stunting startes, can it be fixed by putting him in a large tank or is it irreversable
