Also, I thought the above fish was almost full grown at 10" (maybe a couple more inches to go). Is that about right?

only L191 is fully grown around 10"

They can grow much larger, I've seen one at 19".

They can grow much larger, I've seen one at 19".

For real? Confirmed L191? What were its living arrangements?

So "dull-eyed pleco" is an accepted common name for L191? Will the original L191 in this thread keep the same patterning or will it gradually change to look more like mine and matubula's avatar?

Then are both Panaques and both commonly refered to as Royal Plecos/Panaques?

The two plecs in this thread are different fish.

You have an L190, not L191.

Yes, it was imported from Colombia into the UK and is still in the shop atm. Its in a fibre glass tank/pond.

From all the large L191 (and L418) I've seen none have a prominent pattern that resembles their juvenile one.

My avatar is my big L190, not a L191.
