Big Momma - My new pleco!

[kribensis12]

So I have 7 tanks running at the moment, bristlenose plecos in almost all tanks. A friend gave me two of his due to not having enough room. A small, albino male and then this HUGE female.

I’m calling her “big momma”. She’s about 5 -5.5 inches long!

Check her out!

Hope you have a BIG tank. They are cool fish; I had a couple and eventually did as your friend, they got way too big too fast.

She's in a 30g which should be suitable - this is her maximum size.

You're correct, I thought it was a pleco which can grow close to two feet in a tank, my mistake.

It's okay. Bristle nose normally don't even get this big (in my experience) so this is one huge fish!
