I accepted a fish tank, sight unseen, from another classroom. When it was delivered to me I was horrified to discover it was filled with not only guppies (7 or so adults with plenty of little guppy fry), but also two 5-6" ish plecos! And it's only a 20 gallon tank.

Please help me ID these fish so I can attempt to responsibly rehome them. I think they're much too big for this tank. I may keep the smaller one for a bit - but that bigger one can't be happy!

Fish A is slightly smaller than Fish B. But they're both pretty large for this 24" long tank.

...yeah. That's pretty much the answer I expected. SIGH. Why do people put TWO common plecos in a 20 gallon tank?!
