ive always herd comman plecos always grew fast like its not un herd of to see a comman pleco grown 12inch in a year time?
maybe its true mabe its not idk
mine is a comman and has only gottan to 8inch maybe 9 and its gunna be a year that ive had him next month. got him at an inch long.
i dont really see him getting past 16inch or maybe i just got a slower growing pleco idk

adonis are too hardcore...

I'm satisfy with 12"-14" anything bigger.. thats hard to keep..

Nope i have not tried the poly /pleco combo yet,its just seems like it won't work.The adonis lives with just other plecos and has taken over half the tank.
