Thats so sad, certainly it deserves one :cry:

I guess what I meant is, of all the catalogued L# Pleco's listed, which are largest.

I glanced through some and found the Gibby and the Scarlet to have potential to get very large.

Any others I overlooked?
I know some here are very well versed with the catelog, much moreso than I am...

Adonis Pleco is suppossed to get 3 feet long with a fin (wing) span of 3 feet also... at least from what i've read. I've seen a pic of a giant Adonis on the web... but, alas, I can't find it now.

Great looking plec the L155- I have one but it is only around 4" -has grown quite a bit in the time I have had it though. They do not seem that easy to get hold of, but this is probably a good thing considering the max size they reach.......

Not sad at all...if its discribed it doesnt need one...L numbers have become a fashion...id rather have a scientific name than a lousy L number...:)
