Can I get drift wood at the pet store?
Yes, you can. I bought a piece for my pleco for about $5, I think, and it was pretty cool looking, too.
Fish do grow slower in a small tank, but they do continue to grow. I personally think it is better to get them a larger tank and let them reach a more natural size, than to keep them in a tank too small for them and stunt their development. Some fish we normally think of as "small" aren't really meant to be small at all. Common feeder goldfish, for example, can reach HUGE sizes, if allowed to live and grow naturally.
My pleco's name was Pete.

"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
