What is the growth of them had mine about 4 months and he's prob grown about .5" is this normal or should he be bigger feed regularly of cucumber and wafers but as he is in a Big tank could he be having trouble finding the food. Also there is lots of wood in there which he is usually stuck to. Should I move him into a smaller tank where food will be easier to access.

The bigger the tank the bigger they will get. Eventually! They are a real slow growing species. And they need wood in their diet, if you see him eating i would not worry about it and let him be. IMO
 
Once again cheers pal, will let him be for now just wish plecs would grow at a faster pace lol.

Haha they do grow slow and yeah he should be fine I wouldn't worry and also just a tip if you could I would use zucchini instead of cucumber I was always told its better for them and has a little more protein
