Pleco help- on his back?

[lukep77]

I have to chime on this topic, you say it was mean to throw the pleco out in the garbage, but did it ever occur that it was mean and cruel to keep a 8 inch pleco in a 25g tank.

A pleco that size would need at least a 90+ gallon tank to live happily.
So in stead of trying to figure out how to dispose of it you should have thought that the small tank was the main cause of its death.
