I have had shrek my green phantom pleco a good while now maybe 3-4 months and honestly not what I was expecting after owning a huge sail fin
It was bought at around 2inches and after 3 months it’s grew max to 3incha possibly a little less , how long do things take to grow to the apparent 8 inches ?
Also it’s not very active unless food input is reduced and even then it will venture only a few inches away from its favourite rock , my tank is at low light so shouldn’t be an issue but it keeps its allure and shows once a week in the day , is this common while this size ? My tank is dense in wood and rock and it’s not hard to lose it but with no active , well visual feeding is the pleco living simply off algae during the night ?
