I just got a new pleco 2 weeks ago. The store never told me he would get big, I even asked! I was thinking like maybe 4 inches long but it looks like he might get 6 inches. He is abt 3 1/2" now. I have a 45 gl tank so I should be ok size-wise, but I have all small fish in the tank and now I am worried that he will eat them. I currently have him in a quarantine tank still but I can't keep him there much longer. Trying to decide whether to bring him back or not. I am also not exactly sure what type he is. I am going by the sizes on a pleco link someone posted. I believe he is either a Yellow Prince Tiger or a megaclown peckoltia. Both are 5-6" fully grown. I'll try and get a pic up.

My other fish are guppies and zebra danios, also have a big snail. When I cleaned the tank last week I found a single fry so somebody had babies and just one wasn't eaten. That little one is in a floating mesh nursery for the time being but I was thinking of moving him to the pleco tank so he could get out and explore, but I don't want him eaten!

Thanks for any help you can offer!
