    I think it's a fairly common problem, most fish stores seem to have a few tank-busting plecos they've taken in: I know Kinsealy currently have 2 that are about a foot long each.

    Maybe talk to Seahorse and see if they know anyone who'd take him in for you?

    what kind of size is he? I have a 450L tank so could potentially.

    In terms of what I have to swap I have some spare juvenile cichlids and a couple of angels if interested

    Its approx 8 inches at this stage..would your angels be okay with Oscars? If not you can have the pleco gratis.

    it's weird, i don't think my 2 pleco's have grown much at all in the time i've had them, i'm starting to think they might be dwarfs. :)
