Re: Is stunting pleco growth immoral?

Back to the original thread: I just went to my grand-mother's old people's home and they have a couple of tanks there. I've seen the biggest pleco I"d ever seen in real life (something like way over a foot) in a tank that can't have been more than 20G. He just lay there on the floor, as he's probably unable to turn around easily. It was so sad. I'll have to talk to the lady who owns the fish and see what can be done.

aww, thats so sad! reminds me of the lfs which has a shark, an oscar and a pleco all in a tank together and none of them can turn round. they've been there for months. since i've been going there anyway (6 months).

Re: Is stunting pleco growth immoral?

It comforts me in my decision to give them back although I really don't like that there is no guarantee that they actually did go to a good (and big) home. What also doesn't comfort me is that I read it may be an urban myth that their insides keep growing.
