Anyone Know What Type Of Pleco This Is?

[david419]

i have this pleco in my tank.

he is around 5 inches at the moment but wanted to know which type he is and roughly how big he will grow?

Common plec, up to 20",

mine is at 9" at approx 4yr old. If you look in the catfish > plecs section there is a pinned thread on diffrent species of plecs

thanks, will it be ok to keep in my 180l tank or will i have to rehome it when it gets bigger?

Mine is in a 180l it will need rehoming when it reaches its max size becuase of room, imagine the mess it will create aswell
Mine is bad enough already!

you can always invest into a smaller species of plecos
