What to do with a big pleco?

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.

Let us know what you end up doing.

I will adopt it if you were closer

Yeah. I wouldve said either give him to an aquarium or pet store.
