Biggest Sailfin Pleco...

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
19 incher in a privat lfs.

mine is 13" @ 2 years old, well i bought him 2 years ago at 3 1/2 inches from wally world
 
Mine is over 16 inches long and is 14 years old, hes a real old boy. i bought him as a 1.5" baby.
he was my first monster fish, and he has moved tanks several times and now resides in my new 150 gallon.
 
the biggest i have is about 16" .. but i saw an 18 incher in an lfs i go to before ;)
 
What do you guys use to pump them up fast?

I just bought 4 that I want to put in my pond asap.
 
i put mine in the pond and usually they grow very quicky there. i'm not sure why though, could be there are more algae there but i don't get to feed them properly in the pond, i just put in sinking pellets for my pignose and niger and they just get scraps but for some reason they grow very quickly compared to the my other gibby's which are in my tanks.. size difference is very noticable as the same gibby pair i've both is 16" & 8" now with the 8 incher being the one thats tank raised.. the one in the tank even ate more from what i've been feeding :)
 
My local lfs had 4 that were 18-26 inches in ther giant pond with kois.
