depends on the actual demensions for your tank, but a common pleco gets to about 20 inches long. Coupled with the other bottom feeders, that may be to much.
You should probably also look into getting some algea wafers. |

| definatly get algea waffers. common plecos get WAY to big, once it is to big u will have to exchange it for a new one or buy special breeds such as a royal pleco that wont grow massive. (Chinease algea eaters, oto cats, orange spotted plecos also work excellent) |

Personally, I suggest returning it. Not only will your 30 gallon be fully stocked with just the 2 goldfish once they get older, plecos have a bad habit of sucking on goldfish and causing ulcers.
