These are generally a larger fish, with the smallest ones growing to 3.5, and the largest ones reaching over 24 long! These are also a fish with a high bio-load, so be cautious when adding them to your tank.

Be sure to check the adult size of your pleco variety, as they grow quickly! Most varieties enjoy rasping on driftwood and hiding during the day.
