as far as sexing i heard the male plecos have little horns by there eyes....
 
good deal.. i didnt have a clue what it was.. i dont know much about plecos, i call it my midnite shark!!!! hahaha, how big will it get??????
 
They will get around 18-20 inches. The biggest I've seen so far in person is around 14 inches.
 
I have a common that's 15", so they can definately get massive.
 
If you can get a picture of his belly, I might be able to get you the exact species. But, yeah, he's what you generally think of as commons. Those guys get big. Check out my post in the pleco lounge on Wild Forida Plecos, and there is you answer as to how big. :)
