Ive been gone for a while and this thread may have been forgotten, but I do want to respond just for update and corecting reasons. Please note I do not want to argue, I just want to defend my tank and fish.
Firstly, I never said I actually gave the fish to my friend, I never said he was smart either (I think I actually hinted that he wasnt for keeping a pleco in a small tank).
I agree with fish face here that sigs do not say if tanks are set up well or fish are happy, but they also do not say they aren't. But noone here is in a position to say if my tank is or is not.
