We just moved this guy in from the pond for the winter. Just wanted to share.

The plecs seem to grow so fast outdoors...

 

[Wailua Boy]

It would be interesting to compare growth rates from indoor vs outdoor(even partially) kept plecs

It's definitely got to do with the endless supply of algae. Lol I put a 3" gibby out there 4 months ago. Pulled it out today at 10"

Nice...I remember getting a 15 inch pond pleco at an auction...he still put on another 4.5 inches in no time in a 190 gallon.
