Ok Ive been trying to figure out the last few days if these guys are ok in this tank together (44gallon). There is only one of each.....I hope these pictures help me.......are they plecos? how big will they get?

They are plecos ummmm...the first one looks like a chocolate pleco...the other two look like common plecos which get huge...the pics are kinda blurry so it's hard to tell...are there any special markings or anything on any of them?? there are some smaller plecos if you want...like bushynose, clown, or zebra, they stay about 4 inches...or so...what else do you have in your tank?

i know the top one is an albino says the LFS
i have 2 platy
2 guppy
and 2 white clouds i think they are called
there are only two plecos the albino and the black one....i just took 2 pics of him
 
the bottom one looks like a common to me.

the albino one looks like the "white" chocolate pleco sold at Petsmart, and from what ive read they get almost as big as commons if not the same size. it would be in yours and the fishs' best intrests to take them both back.
 
They need way more than a 75. More like in the hundreds range.

Let's not talk gallons for a moment.. let's talk feet. The dark plecos, if commons, will reach about two feet. The little chocolate is gonna hit 18 inches, or a foot and a half. They like veggies and wafers and pellets and pretty much anything else. If you want to keep them, you're going to need a tank at least two feet wide, and six feet long. 125 gal wide might work. Take em back if you can't accomodate them. They grow up quick!
 
They are also very messy. We're talking poop machines.:p:
 
I wish they made more long shallow tanks, so issues about room would be easier to remedy.
