Hey guys,
I bought an algae eater back in February of this year and it was quite small. He/she has grown a lot since then. I was shocked when I noticed how big this thing had gotten! Can someone help ID the kind of pleco this is? I have it in a 10 gallon tank, but I'm afraid that it has outgrown it.
