new plecs.

Where are you getting your information? The more common chocolate can attain sizes of 20" or more, and the p. scrophus, although only attaining a size of 11", will be too cramped in a tank that small due to the life style of plecos, and the output of detritus.

As you can see there is a way that a chocolate will outgrow a 29 without any problem.

LOL!

I think it was supposed to read
"29 gallons??!!?, NO WAY! They'll get far too big!"""

Well here is a pic of the two plecos I got.

 

[WyldFya]

Yep yours is a leucistic pterygoplichthys species. He should max at 20", but can attain larger sizes.

Do you think the top pic is a rubbernosed pleco?

 

[WyldFya]

Yeah your other pleco is a chaetostoma species.

Alright. well when I was looking at the plecos at petsmart they had rubbernosed plecos and golden nugget plecos mixed in the tank. I said I wanted the biggest rubbernosed pleco, the golden nuggets are like 34.99 and it looked like she had grabed a golden nugget and charged for the price of the rubbernose (4.99).
