Hi Georgina.
I know exactly what you're going through with the plecs,i bought 2 from my
local retailer which were only about 2" long, now they are nearly 12" long,they
quickly outgrew my 24x12x12 tank but luckily i had a Trigon 180l tank to
transfer them to,i hope you can resolve your plec dilemma very soon as they are
a fascinating fish,ugly but still fascinating to watch.

Happy Fishkeeping.

Dave.

thanks Steve, you're a star, and I don't understand cms when it
comes to tanks or heights either! I think getting a 4ft tank is
definitely feasible, and my flatmates have agreed that that is ok; I
really wouldn't want to get anything bigger, for cost reasons and
for the fact that I'm in a rented house and moving a 2ft tank is a
pain enough! (i'm an expert now, I've moved house 5 times in 2
years!). If he outgrows a 4ft tank, fair play to him, but at that
stage I may just have to let him go, but I'll cross that bridge when
I come for and hope for the best, as I do adore him!

Thanks again

Georgina
