What? Why do you sound mad? I was only in control of the tank as of october! Sorry i guess...
He's just telling you, I'm sure he didn't mean it in that way :). Anyways, a stunted fish means it's organs keep growing, but it's body does not, because the aquarium is not big enough. Your pleco will likely die soon in that small of a tank if he is that stunted.. Please consider either upgrading your aquarium (55g + i believe for a common pleco is minimum) or give him away to someone with a larger tank.
 
Oh nonono, I'm not mad, I mean, congrats because you found out how bad the situation is, how you have learned from the mistakes, I know, I talk weird
When a fish is stunted, it's outside stops growing, but his insides don't, and in sometime he will go pop

Next time i will get a dwarf then....oh i hope he doesnt die anytime soon! He has the most personality of all my fish...well at least i know now....
 
I think upgrading him to a large tank will be too late at this point. It wouldn't help with growth, but with bioload.
