welcome to the site.


if your pleco is a common or sailfin pleco then your 75 will be to small in the long run.
some plecos grow to immense sizes and need large tank to properly house them.
Warning..I will offend you at some point!!!


my goal is simple a complete understanding of the universe, why it is as it is and why it exists at all

Hello and welcome!

Necro's got you covered, but can we see a pic of your pleco?
That would make the advice more conclusive.
A too small pleco may get eaten, a big one can be a tankbuster.

Welcome to the community

Some Plecos can grow to quite big sizes

Welcome to OFL

You could go for a bristle nose plec, these dont get too big. But dont get a small one, oscars grow much quicker than plecs!!!!
