will my L190 grow any bigger????

[jonnyjay]

hello was just wondering if anyone knows if my (L190) royal will get any bigger i measured him 2-3 months ago and he was 15.4" hes in a 370 gal tank, he has stopped growing but he still eats like a pig lol,
i will put some pics up thanks in advance

i wouldnt count on it since they are only supposed to get 13"..

 

[jonnyjay]

my measurement was including the tail if that helps

They reach 20"+ just give it time. They slow down a lot once they hit this size.

Yes they can, I've got one slightly larger at about 40cm/16" and the most I've seen quoted for L190 is about 45cm/18", but they probably can get a little beyond that like other similar large Panaque.

BTW what's his new name? I called him Russel

 

[jonnyjay]

still a little bit more yet!, matt will agree these fish look totaly amazing at this size, this is my favorite pleco ive ever had, so much personality.

my pleco is called Russel great guess matt.

Well..... He did used to be mine

I remember when Jo at Rare Aquatics told me he went to someone with a massive tank, I was really pleased. I recognised him instantly when I saw the picture.
