I recently purchased a Pleco or Suckermouth Catifiish. Its a really cool fish, but I did a little googling to find out what the critter eats and was suprised to discover my little 2 inch catfish buddy would eventually grow to a foot long! All the sites say this, but do any of you know if thats actually their average size? I'd prefer not to have my Pleco covering a good length of my aquarium!

Curse that lady at the retailer store for not warning me that my wittle catfish would soon be a monster!

Sorry folks! Pardon my spelling on catfish! I accidently wrote "Catifish" with an I and theirs not so post to be an I. Oh whatever.

Welcome to MFK!!!

Depending on species, you may have a cat that can attain 1, 2, and even 3 feet in length.

Do you have any pics of your pleco? Depending on the species, it can get BIG or not.

Best regards.

I believe it to be a Common Pleco. I purchased it at a Walmart Store.

If it's from Wal-mart it's almost certainly a common plecostomus. Yes, they can grow up to and over a foot long. I have even seen them in the 18" range, get rid of it or find a larger tank.

Walmart only sells commons to my knowledge, they do get big!
