ODD L114 Pseuda

[Andrewtfw]

Your plecos grow fast! I have had a 114 for two years now. He has only grown 2" in this time. He has grown up in a 125 and is now in a 135, neither of which are crowded, so I am not sure why he grows so slowly.

I use this thread as a reference, got him on April this year at ~2.5" now is September and my last est measurement was at ~5". He doubled in size in roughly 6months.
He's housed in a 3footer with my new lda73 and some eartheaters. Only feed 1x per day, but WC every week.
WC promotes growth maybe you can try.

Is this 5" standard length (no tail) or total length (with tail)?

I use TL as my standard measurement, he's near to 5". Maybe it's growth genes are different from the normal L114.

Hes about 3" and was around 2.5" roughly 7 months ago.
