So, I was having an algae problem in my ten gallon with my two black moors, so went to the store, and was suggested a Pleco by my LPS, the kind that i have now learned gets to be 24" in ideal conditions.
I decided at the time to upgrade my fish to a 15 gallon at that time, so i did, and got them all situated in there. Then did some research... and now i am left with a pleco that will either die from stunting, or i will have to upgrade him, or get rid of him.
He is really small right now, but i dont want his growth to stunt my other fish's, and i dont want him to die just because i cant afford to buy him a better tank. How long, do you guys think, until i have to get rid of him? Or, should i just go ahead and exchange him for the kind of pleco that gets 2".... is there any way to take care of algae without medicating, or overcrowding my tank? or having to scrub it off the glass myself? haha, i just love having a clean tank..
i do have a planted tank btw... so that leads to alagae more right?
i think the answer is to get rid of my pleco, right?
