I got a common sailfin pleco about a year ago as 3 1/2 inch juvenile and now she ( I think?) is a little over 6 inches long. I have always heard that plecos grow relatively slow and she is only the second pleco I have ever had; my first passed away a few years ago and yes , he was big boy (his head alone was easily 5 or 6 inches wide and I had him for a good 17 years; a nice childhood memory, I got him when 5 years old ) So my question is would growing around 3 inches in a year be an example of good growth for a pleco of her species? ( She gets wafers and likes bloodworms, shrimp pellets and river shrimp)
P.S: I have learned a lot more about aquarium keeping since I got my first pleco (Sandshrew) and my second pleco (Shadow) seems to be growing faster than Sandshrew did and she is a beauty * I will post a photo of her when catch her out of her cave*
