I recently purchased a used 55gal tank that came w/ a 10in common pleco. After using the tank/filter advisor, I see that I need more filtration. I'm in no position to get a bigger tank anytime soon, but can come up with $50-ish for an additional filter within a month or two.
I'd consider giving her to someone w/ a bigger tank, but would hate for her to go back to freezing her tailfins off with goldfish, as she was with her previous owner. Somehow she survived w/ _4_ goldfish and virtually no maintenance for the past two years. She eats zuchinni like a maniac, (only fed wafers before) and is very active during the day; I assume she's happy to see people 'cause she certainly isn't shy.
1) with more filtration, would it still be cruel to keep 'Cthulu' (my two year old calls her 'Lulu') in a 55 gal when she would thrive in a larger tank?
2) any suggestions for finding a suitable home for her? I don't know a thing about shipping fish, but am more than willing to learn.
thanks in advance for any advice!
