I went to petsmart and bought a (what i think is) a Plecostomus Catfish. I wanted two for a 10 gal tank, but the people at petsmart said to only get one because they do grow and the tank wont be able to support 2. But people have been asking why i even have one in a 10 gal tank when they will grow as big as the tank itself! And even based on a picture i saw of one as long as a man's arm! When I got mine, he was only 2 inches long, and 4 months later hes 2.5 inches long. A Plecostomus Catfish has the same coloration and features as the fish I have, except the size, that is. Is there a miniture size of this fish? Mines not even as long as my hand! And yet the ones i see are as long as someone's arm? WOW. If he is going to grow as big as my tank, and turn my tank to a poop-box, is there anything that will replace him and go peacefully with Betta fish and/or guppies? (they're in separate tanks of course, the betta and guppies, I dont even have bettas yet) in 10 gallon tanks please! Thanks!
