Wondering how big can my Pleco grow too.

I've seen them at this size. This picture from Planet Catfish is at a LFS I go to frequently, and is currently still there. They seem to previously have been thought to only grow that size but in the past couple of years much larger specimens are being caught.

I am not pleco expert but I know there size ranges with species. My experience is they grow pretty fast if given the chance. But some don't get very big at all. My "bushynose" has topped out at about 5" but I have a common that is easily over 15" and is still growing. He is my favorite fish I have at the moment. He will eat out of my hand. I have other fish that will eat out of my hand but not quite as neat as him.
So I guessing what I am sating is get these guys an accurate ID (or good pic) so they can help. Or if you know the species, you could just google it.

Yeah in my Piranha tank with a lot of coverage i though he was dead and about 6 months later i had a 8 inch common in less then a year. He must of been hiding under a log getting scrap.
good tank size+good water+good food= big healthy size animal

In any case, both of the plecos will not thrive well with the TSN or the RTC. Loyals get big but its growth rate is no where near RTC. Blue/Green phantoms are medium plecos
They will be out competed for space by RTC and TSN. I suggest relocation soon

The l-191 will or can get as big as Matt has said. Listen to him he knows his Panaque. They are very slow growers so if you are keeping them with fast growing aggressive fish it probably won't end well.
I have seen l-191's at 2'sl. Lots of sites need to update their info.
The l-200 you have is a Hemiancistrus subvridis from what i can tell it's not very clear in the pic. I don't see the dorsal fin and adipose the small fin before the tail connected. If it is then it's a bary.
