I have a 12", but I am pretty sure that the kellys roast beef on Rte.1 saugus, mass has one pushing 16"

How old is your 12 incher??

Assuming that you are refering to the gibbiceps, they don't get much bigger than 12" to 14". I had one for about 15 years, was about 12" or so. It was the cooest pleco I ever had. It was a very sad day when it passed......

Right now, I have had my Sailfin Pleco (sold to me as common plec.) for a year or so. Bought him at approx. 7" and now hes pushing 12", and hasnt stopped growing yet ...

How old is your 12 incher??

Not sure, I just got him bout a month ago at the NH aquarium auction for 7 bucks. I love him. He is the most active pleco I have ever seen. And watching him go round for round with pinchy, one of the more amusing events I see.
