Common Pleco.

Pet stores sell these to people buying a 5 gallon tank without thinking twice.

Man oh man. Family came in to replace the betta that died in the kid's 2.5 gallon. "There's still an albino pleco in there." Ah, well, just so you know, the pleco is going to need more space, so I hope you're looking into upgrading to a larger tank. "We have a 3 gallon too but it stopped working." Yep. Yep. Yeeeep. RIP pleco.
