Emma Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 I have just taken on caring for a 50 gallon tank at my daughter's pre-school. There's a huge pleco in there, at least 11-12" long, and I'm afraid to say I've never had a pleco before! I'm assuming it will need to find a new, bigger home, but to start with I have no idea what kind it is. Can anyone ID it for me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
