Ancistrinae sp./ Blue Panaque L-239???

Post by 1tankneverenuff »

Can anyone give me any information about this fish? I was told average maximum size is 4-5 inches? Is this true? I don't want to end up buying some just to find out they get HUGE! Thanks!

Not sure they even get that big. Anyway - to answer your question, it's not a huge pleco.

Excellent, thanks for the response and the reference to the other post. Also, I would be purchasing these to breed...anyone have information on that subject?
