I won this one today on aquabid for $20. :-D It says about 2inches. Its 3hrs away so i was gonna drive but gas is a beast so i think ill have to go for usps priority no guarantee shipping.

Its unfathomable that a tank of gas costs FOUR TIMES what im paying for priority shipping. Wish money was no object-id rather drive!


i should have him later in the week if all goes well.

I have a Plec going on 6 years and he's 15" started around 4". Had to move him out of my 30gal.

I have 2 that grew about 2 inches in 2 years.

I bought mine at 1.5-2" for $30. I've had him for over a year, and he's not grown at all, and I never see him.

I paid $50 for minte at 1.5" two years ago. He has been in a 125 for the last year and is only about 3" now. Always hides except when fed.

I got mine in January 2010; 4 of them for about $30 each. Alas, 2 died last october. The surviving 2 are in a 75 gallon. You can expect your 2.5"-3" to start going on a growth spurt- my largest one started out a 3" SL and is now about 5.5" SL. It's the biggest fish in the tank, but hides in a ceramic log all day.
