Just curious how big is the biggest plecos watch a show on tv about diveing in the amazon and saw huge pleco like the size of small table
 
i beleive oddball has some true beasts ;)
 
adonis is one not sure how big the biggest get my books limit me to cats only and tank raised plecs every wild search i do comes up with far too many tank guys.
 
not sure
 
thats a good ? i know some get big
 
Pseudoacanthicus hystrix will hit the 4ft mark in roughly 8 years. My Panaque is no slouch in the size department. But, he's a foot shy of the 4 ft mark.

P. hystrix on the net & my panaque in a tank.

I don't care how many times I see that picture, I will still fall out of my chair everytime. Oddball, that has to be one of the collest fish I ever seen.

Yeah, I like him, too. Especially when he ripples the surface as he moves around the bottom. Not a bad trick considering the tank is 34" deep. But, if I'd known just how much waste he produced before I got him...well, maybe I would have reconsidered and gotten myself a draft horse instead. The horse would leave less waste to clean up.
