PLECO LIVING ALONE IN A SMALL TANK?

[mjordan29]

If I got a small 2-3 gallon tank would it be ok to just put a 7 inch pleco in it?

sorry man but NO

 

[jm1212]

um no?

Thats way too small of a tank for any fish that size. if you already have the fish in that tank I recommend you save up for a bigger tank

Just to clarify, my 4X rule of thumb is for when the fish needs to come OUT of a tank, and into a bigger one. So the people suggesting moving that pleco to a 40-55gal are correct, to allow it some room to grow.

Um, guys, it's a trojan. So just ignore it.

If the fish cannot turn around comfortably in the tank then it's always a NO for me...
