I have a Trinidad Plecostomus...very common!
When I got him I was told his max size would be 6 inches. He has gotten bigger than that.
Last night I went to a different pet store and on a tank full of these kinds of plecos..it said max length 20 inches..
I am doing research now to find out what size tank he needs ..and I have found people saying their max length is 11 inches..
What is the max size of this pleco and what would be HIS dream tank size?
Thanks!

Re: Pleco Size
Sorry it took me a while to reply..I had to go count dorsal fin rays...definitely more than 10 so I have a Pterygoplichthys punctatus...max size 11 inches..so probably a 70 gallon??J-P wrote:http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/sp ... es_id=1295
that is the info you're looking for
So, I was probably confusing species..
