erm...plecs get to around 2feet

 

[Plec123]

Nope not these 2 species. They only get 14". 17"-18" if you count the tail fin.
The vast majority of plecs stay under 12". Almost all of them dont top 18".

erm...plecs get to around 2feet

P. gibbiceps can get to around 2 foot (total length) 18" standard length
P. pardalis are closer to 14" SL
p. joselimaianus are smaller still at around 12" SL

I think the common name for the one on the bottom is a rhino pleco, I have a rhino and it looks very similar.
