probably wasnt a Common. there are Panaque species that reach that size. they live in deep water and are yet to enter the aquarium trade (Thank gosh)
Certain Pterigoplichthys species that are called Common Plecos, along with the gibbiceps in that genus, can get amazing gigantic humongous large big type.
You wont see a 3' common we have a common around 17" at work, it would be a panaque or titan pleco around that sorta size i imagine even 2'-30" in an aquarium.
ok...back on track about customer stories....i had a great one in the store the other day.
five minutes before we were closing, a woman came running into the store in a hurry, looking like she had some emergency. this is the EXACT conversation i had with her:
me: hi, can i help you?
her: do you carry cockatiels?
me: no, just parakeets
her: do you ever get any tiels in?
me: no, just parakeets
her: have you ever carried tiels?
me: no, just parakeets
her: are you expecting any cockatiels?
me: no, just parakeets
her: do you have any finches?
me: no, just parakeets.
then she turned around and walked out of the store.

Acanthicus Adonis and Acanthicus Hystrix are both said to exceed three feet commonly.
Also, the 'Common' pleco may be any of a huge number of similar species. Go to any pet store and memorize the patterns on the common plecs, as well as the head shape. You will soon realize, as you visit other stores and as new stock comes in, that there are more than a few different species being called 'Common'.
