Sorry, Sailfin Pleco I believe is more accurate name, although I am sure people here with more experience than I will chime in with the right answer. Whatever the name, I have one and it is way too big for the tank. Lets hope the cycle on the 55G turns over quick!

Yes, sailfin aka Gibbiceps pleco. These guys can grow to be monsters with proper care... around 18 inches or more eventually. A 30 gallon won't provide them much room for long.

wow, 18"? Hopefully I can get a bigger tank before he gets that big. The 30 should hold him for a couple years at least, right?
