Not sure on the growth rate of the L-114 (although if it's like any of my pseudos, it's pretty fast), but my adonis grew from 1.5" to 4.5" in 3 months!
well first you have to decide what fish you got. is it the L155 acanthicus hystrix or is it acanthicus adonis. The leopardus will grow quicker to start but... How big do you need them to get? theres quite an adult size difference between your two plecs

It's only about a 2' difference lol. Not to bad:D
In the wild anyway.

Not quite a 2' difference, more like 14" difference.
Does your acanthicus have yellow spots or no?

the 155 is an adonis and its not for me im keeping for a friend till he gets his tank cycled and what not..i am very aware of the size lol. so yes thanks. and the leopardus will grow pretty quick. as i said hes like 2 inches now and i need him to be like 4-5 as quicka s possible. ive been packin him full every night of like this hikari super tropical stuff. it has banana and bloodworms and squid....pretty much a well balanced diet. so any suggestions to get this baby to sprout quick. thank agian for the help guys. im rdy to start my psuedo cellection haha. so far all vie got is a flame and the leopardus but in the future hell go in with a scarlett and a titanic.
peace

L155 is an acanthicus histrix. A. adonis is a scientifically identified species, that never recieved an L#. It is often mislabeled as L155 though.
id just feed some more fresh and frozen foods, i think it will grow quicker than using just pellets (although a good supplement). things like worms, prawns etc. look at the food sticky for a full list
