I have a Sailfin Plecostomus who needs rehoming. must be around 13-15 years old now. bought him when he was about 2cm long. However how hes around 30cm long and massively outgrown his 4' tank.

Free to a good home in the Southampton/hampshire area. or ideas suggestions for rehoming welcome. even ideas for moving him?? i'd think you'd be looking at a 6' tank for this guy now?

not actual photo as i'm at work.

Sailfins shouldn't really be sold for home aquaria because they do get too big. Up to around 1m given the space and time to grow.

I bought two plecs at the same time not knowing one was of a variety which grew that big. The other stopped growing at 10cm.

If nobody comes forward then i will ring around some local shops yes. I don't know if he has any value though, as he'll be too large for most peoples tanks
