Hello! Today the weirdest thing happened to me. I am currently stocking my 140 liters aquarium, so I bought some ember tetra's today. When I got out of the car at my house a guy asked for directions, and then asked if I just bought fish, and if I had an aquarium. I told him I did. He then opened up his bag and showed me a white garbage bag with a pleco inside.
Couldn't really get an answer from him as to why he had this fish in his bag, so I just accepted the fish. He also wouldn't stop insisting me to take it. And he already ripped the bag it was in. I was scared he would release it in the wild. Figured the pleco could live in my aquarium while I found a new owner:)
Well, the thing was huge, it was about 19 cm big and I was scared he might rip all of my plants out. Called my LFS (where I just got the tetra's from) and they immediately told me to just bring it over. He's currently at their store getting the best care:)

What a crazy story xD
When they grow up this big they can eat small fishes. You did the right thing.
You made the right call, I love my big pleco, but you really have to want them, because they will take over the tank. Their not purposely destructive, but their size causes them to tear up everything just from moving around.
