Re: plecos growing

No, there is a maximum size. It's not like if you leave it in a lake it grows shark-sized. I think the maximum is about 2 foot. That's for common plecos.

Re: plecos growing

Bristle nosed plecos max size is like 5-6 inch maybe be a chance of 7 ", common from 10-18 " and when both are in a tank to small for them it will stunt there growth by there digestive system shrinking and kinda slowly making there life shorter.
