Are commons plecos the largest overall?

Zucchini Plecos are also supposed to hit around 3 feet.

That says 19.7" or about 1/2 of 3 ft

Planetcatfish is way off on it's lengths. Here's the one for the common, they say they only reach 13 inches.

These look like they can be very wide, at 30'' I cant imagine how wide these guys
can be also. Would you consider these guys needing the same basic care
or temperment?

If you mean the acanthicus species. I'd say they are the meanest pleco out there. The one I had was also very senstive as he was the only pleco to die in a power outage.
