Well, sadly I went downstairs this morning to find him dead. So I suppose that answers that. Thanks anyways however.
One more question; how would you dispose of a fish that big? He's too big for the toilet, and to throw him into the garbage seems mean. I was thinking of going down to the river and releasing him. Or would that be a bad idea; ie envirnmentally?

I guess what I was looking for was more of an explanation or reason. Myself; I can't see how a dead fish in the river would do any harm; as the river's ecosystem is designed to break down dead fish. To me it would be like doing a burial at sea.
I think cremation is out; I'm not about to go spend $80 to have him cremated.

Just place him in the garbage bin.
Sure it might seem "mean" as you say, but it'll be over before you know it. Unless this fish has extreme sentimental value to you, it's probably not worth going through all the trouble of digging a site and burying him. Besides, your other option was to flush him down the toilet anyways. Just that he didn't fit, right?

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.
