Yes... Common plecos are poop machines as well as fast growers. What does poop do? Turns to ammonia. What does ammonia do? Poison your fish when in excess.

A 40B is 40"x 18"
Quite a lot more room to swim.
So I would not add one to a 30g.

Why don't you understand current sizes don't matter, it's the size that fish grow out to that matters.
No more fish will fit into your aquarium while a common pleco is in there.
Sorry.
You come on here and ask to be analyzed -- so you will be.
I'm not the only one who thinks like this.
So. You want to have an answer? It's a resounding no.
Fix your current issues before incurring more.
Good luck.

Although a three inch pleco will not get large for a while and I know! Are fine right now
And I know adding a common pleco does not sease your stocking!! And the 11 inch pleco I know I a little big for the thirty gallon but it's the biggest saltwater tank I have/ know of and I like ZUES I have had him since he was just over an inch he is my favorite fish and is very important to me!

Is there a chance someone could adopt the larger fish for a period? Till you either have the funds to get the larger tank or find a deal to swap something for a tank etc?
Scouser said:I feared as much, is there not a LFS that you could give it to?
Maybe for a period of time or for keeps?
I just think it'll do wonders for your tank if it's rehomed
