Are they fairly common how big do they get and did I get it for a good price?

whats the scientific name for a leopard pleco? and if it is a gibby 18" eh thats huge... hopefully they take along time to get there :confused:
 
It is 100% gibby. If fed right it will grow over an inch per month for the first year and around 18" in 3(ish) years. Some have been known to top the 18" mark too. But imo they are amazing fish.
 
i've got algae wafers shrimp pellets and blood worms as the sinking food in the tank is this good for them?
