Pleco not growing?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I can believe that. 0.5" in about 3 weeks. My Pleco was putting on 1" per month until he was about a year old. For the first 6 months he was putting on 1/3" per month because he was in a 20 long. After moving him to the 210 he was putting on an inch per month. Last time I measured him he was 9". He may be closer to 10" now, because I think that was over 1 month ago.
 
Here is a picture of him now, he has grown quite a bit. The water is a little cloudy because I added some calcium for my snail, the water quality is good. He is roughly the same size as my rhino pleco that I got about a year ago.
