I've got a 10 inch pleco (I've had him since he was about an inch and a half) in a 30 gallon tank and I think he has been eating some of the other fish. Will they do that? I guess I'll give him to a local fish store. Any other suggestions?

That's the best thing you can do. He need a MUCH larger aquarium.

Yes he needs a bigger tank or take him to the LFS or you could post him on CL or here.He does need a bigger tank though.Good luck with your decision.If I lived closer then I would take him but I don't.

put him on craigslist, see if a local fish store will take him, call a local aquarium and see if they want him.....Find a friend with a koi pond....

Yes I was going to say a pond also. I have a 10" one in my Koi pond. The only thing is they have to be brought in for the winter so then you're back to square one.
