I'm going to have plecos in my 500G once it is setup. Does that count? LOL

I would definitely call 500G a monster. What sort of pleco's do you keep?

I bought him at around 10". I paid enough, lets leave it at that.lol
 
I've got a 6ft 125g setup with 4 plecos:
(1) 4" L-264 Sultan pleco
(1) 2.5-3" L-14 goldy sunshine pleco
(1) 2.5" L-114 red-tailed leopard pleco
(1) 2.5" L-326 (black with white spots, leporacanthicus) just added this one on Thursday.

They aren't monsters yet...but someday ;D

Also in the tank are 2 small (1-1.5") electric blue jack dempseys, 5 red hook silver dollars, and 6 common silver dollars.

I would take pictures but I'm medicating the tank right now so its cloudy (using melafix and pimafix to treat what looked like a body fungus on one of the silver dollars...which was causing it to scatch and it was missing some scales/etc).
 
4 Plecos currently in my 150 (180us) community:
1x L001 @ 13"
1x Blue Phantom @ 3" and never seems to grow!
1x Acanthicus Adonis @ 9"
1x Albino Common @ 9"
They all get along fine which always suprises me as according to the books the L001 and the Adonis are supposed to be intolerant of other Pleco tank mates.

the set up has 2x eheim 2217 classics for filtration and 2x 300w heaters, sand on the bottom and a few rocks, wood, live and fake plants. The different Plecos seem to stick to different environments in there. The Blue Phantom rarely leaves a pile of rocks at one end, the albino likes the sand in the middle, L001 goes around the edging glass alot and the Adonis is mostly in the pile of wood.
 
You've definitely got a monster on your hands with an adonis! Any pictures of it? Ive got a L001/Gibbiceps which can get fairly aggressive but never results in any harm.

Right now I just have two ABNs, a chocolate pleco, two commons and a yellow/leucistic sailfin.
