I had one of these and it was very slow growing compared to most plecos, only attaining a length of about 4.5" after two years before my dovii ate it while breeding. They have awesome markings though and the fin gets really tall like a sail (which they use as a weapon so I dont know how the dovii got around it when he was only 5-6" lol)
yea, hes only about 4-5" slow growing for sure....as much waste he creates you'd think he'd grow faster but he's just another mass-waste producer... still pretty cool to watch when he comes out
