if it is a common bristle nose, it will probably get to be a max of 9-10". However, ancistrus sp. vary greatly, so it could stay at 4 1/2 -5 or could grow even larger than 12". Just like the entire family it depends on which one you have. plecos range in size from 3" up to over 3'.
if it's a real bristlenose then it will max out at around 5". I have a few of them right now. It's a great pleco! They even eat brown algae too.
