Hi, I adore my 7 yr old Comet "Goldie" and "Winnie", my common Pleco. I worry about the fact that Winnie has become too big (14") for the 25 gallon tank the two of them share. It's also become a struggle keeping the tank clean.

Welcome to AC! Time for a much larger tank or donate the fish to a better home.

If you love your fish as much as you say you do upgrade their tank capacity

Hi MissMeliss, I do want to send my Pleco to a bigger home. One big thing worries me, though. I know Plecos in general are very skittish, but Winnie is extreeeemely so. Once in a while I scare her so bad as I am about to clean the tank, that she darts around super fast and crashes into the sides of the tank. I really think that is bad for her heart's health. I worry that whomever comes to rescue her will not be able to get her out of the tank without injury to the fish. Stefanie (soon will be changing my profile name!)
