L047 Growth Rate?

[Angler]

Just wondering the growth rate of a Mango Pleco. The one I may buy is currently 3-4 inches. I am afraid it may get eaten in my 125 at this size, so I may grow it out in another tank. Just wondering how long it will take to gain a few inches.

very slow growth rate likely, baryancistrus species require constant food, high temperatures, high oxygenation, and high water quality to grow at all.

Fresh greens is the best way to go.

I got a Royal today instead, although I may still get one in the near future. They are about 3 inches and $49. Ok price?
