i got this 10 gal tall a little while ago and added plants and guppies, guppies had baby’s so i had no plans on getting more fish and only getting a bigger tank, fast forward to today and my mom (which i told her over and over do not put fish in my tank) got a common pleco and the little orange dude in the bottom right, it’s already crowded as is and i’d like to keep the pleco but i see alot of people saying to have a 120+ gallon tank for them, should i return him? or get bigger tank?

Yes, you should return or rehome the common pleco unless you are able to accommodate them for the rest of their life. If it is a common bristlenose pleco, that’s a different story — Ancistrus only get about 5″ long at most.
The orange guy is Osteogaster aenea (bronze cory), perhaps one of the glofish modified strains, if not simply an albino. They are highly social fish, and should have a group of at least 5.
