what is the biggest pleco

[freshwaterstingrays]

name and pic would be great...

thanks Derrick

 

[potamotrygon]

adonis or hystrix

 

[WyldFya]

Neither the adonis nor the hystrix even begin to touch the largest. The largest would be a panaque, commonly known as LDA65, or titanic pleco. Oddball use to have one, and I hope he throws his pic up of it.

 

[StiffMeister]

agree with that

Full grown acanthicus are far longer and about as wide as a large panaque. I would say that they average out to having similar weights.
