How BIG will this brown pleco get!?

Post by Scandi »

Okay, here's my pleco. I'm not sure what he/she is exactly.

I've had it for 2 years and in this time it has grown from 2,5'' (6 cm) to more than 8'' (21 cm)...
I now need to buy a new aquarium because she has outgrown the one I've got... So it's necessary that I know how big she will get too buy her a decent tank.

I'm also pretty sure she ate my two (healthy!) barely 2'' plecos, cause one day they just disappeared. What's up with that?
