i saved another one

[a&j_tanks]

so i got this pleco from the guy down stairs with the two uncycled tanks
its a common, doesnt look like its eaten anything, its fins have bite marks on it from cichllds, and it was kinda half way dead when i got it
today it looks like it got a meal, and its more active

and yesterday he went out and bought another one and put it in a ten gal

thats 2 plecos that ive saved..what should i do with this one?

nice story.

do you have a place for him though?

 

[a&j_tanks]

i already have two that are getting huge
my common is close to 8inchs, my albino chocolate is close 4
this little guy is only an ich at most

so i dont really have room for him

Probably best then if you don't take on any more such fish, well intentioned that you are.

You should pretty much start looking for someone with a good tank to take him off your hands asap so.

Well, it looks like you'll either have to get him ID'd - see if he is in fact a true common, and if so get a huge tank to keep him and the other one in - or rehome him.

coler, i have 3 plecs total now
1 common named star
1 chocolate name galaxy
1 little common that i saved yesterday

im gonna need a huge tank for the first two anyways, but this little guy would make me want a 200gal tank...which i have no room

is there anyone that can i d him?


this is my big common and his name is "star"

:iagree:
It's very commendable that you keep saving these fish but you need somewhere to keep them or they're going to end up in the same state you got them in (not through neglect but through lack of space).
