I've heard people talk about 'dwarf plecos' and I was curious about them. I have a small pleco (no bigger than 3") who I have had for almost 9 months who has barely grown. I haven't been TOO worried since I bought him as a common, really cheap, and he eats and is very active. But he's NEVER grown! I've had quite a few plecos in my time and they have all been growers.

I check his poops and his belly and he's just fine. No pics for the moment (I took some but I have to put them on the computer). He's dark.. black with brown markings.. and looks like most commons you'll find in the pet store.
 
This little pleco has no bristles like a bristlenose.. I will upload pics for a comparison.
