:I've had what I think is a common pleco for about two years now. He's grown from about 3 inches to about 14. He's currently living in a 40 gal breeding tank, but I fear it's grown too small for him. The wife won't trade him, so it's moving time soon.
:I'm thinking of moving him up to a 75 gal. (48" X 18" X 24")aquarium.
:Any thoughts?
:
A 75-gallon would be a good size for him, but if you can go bigger then I would since he will grow at least another 4 inches.
