[redtailfool]

Yeah.. ive seen like 2 ft plecos . But ive wondered what the record is.. Are there any 10 ft plecos out there that sucks baby humans slime ? LOL anyways, pleco addicts, can you check this out and post your findings here? MFK appreciates your monstrous effort in finding monstrous cats.

I saw a common that had to be 30" at a LFS. Guy also raised it with a 4' TSN.

um I had a 23" pleco with my rtc 3 years ago. bought him at about 15". There's about a 20" at my lfs I got my eye on for my new indoor pond. I saw one that had to be well over 30" at a japanese resturant in my hometown. If I remember next time I go home, if it is still alive I will photograph it with someone next to it. You guys might be waiting a couple of months on that one though. lol.

I think "Snow Kings" are the largest.

They usually reach 2ft. or larger.
