Thanks, Chris for that :) However, I SHOULD have ask before I bought,
it was a bit impulsive, although I did ask at the LFS and 2 guys assured
me he would be fine :) I DO know better than to totally listen to them,
thou! Anyhoo, I had the big pleco for about 24hrs and did end up taking
him back--he didn't eat the plants but he did knock them down and out
and I decided I didn't want to replant my tank everyday. I got 5 small
plecos in his place and am now on the search for a few oto's and Am.
flagfish to help out. I don't know what to do if these 5 small plecos
grow to be that big--i'm hoping they stay small ;)

From my experience with LFS Pleco's if the ones that I bought small (under 2")
stayed under 3 inches even after about 3 years of age. However the one I
bought
medium sized (about 4") grew to about 9 inches in just 6 months. Note the
same
store that sold him/her to me for $5.95 bought him back for $15 credit.
