Will my sailfin pleco eat the plants I pot in my tank?
He isn't all that big, maybe 3 to 4 inches. He is in
the tank that I don't have plants in. Thats why you
don't see any real plants.

Your plec will soon eat the plants I'm afraid. What size is your tank? Sailfin plecs can easily outgrow most small tanks.

The tank he is in is a 10 gal. I know, bad. But I am getting a 29 gal this month and I am going to put him in it. I have heard that they don't, but when they suck on the ground next to the plants, it can uproot them:thumbsdown:.
So I was just wanting some feedback on it.

Yes, I know. I have had him/her(not sure which?) for around two and a half years. I am thinking about giving him to my Uncle, he has a 200 gal tank.
