I have a problem and I am not sure what to do. I have a common pleco and I am not sure if I should keep him? I am getting a new tank (72"x18" is the footprint - 125 gal) I WANTED one that was a little bigger than 18", but I am not rich. SO do I keep my common pleco? I can give him to my LFS that I ordered my tank from but I don't know if they will inquire about size of tank if they sell him. At the same time if/when he gets to 16" or bigger my tank will be to small and it will be REALLY hard to rehome him. I am not sure? I have had him for a year, and I like him, but also really want to make sure he doesn't end up in some 10 gallon tank like the poor pleco my niece has. opinions?

150g is the minimum for common plecos, so he should be good in a 125g for a while
