I am thinking of maybe getting one of these since i saw a bunch at my LFS. I have seen on planetcatfish.com that the get about 8" but at the LFS they had a description and it said they only get 4".

Does anyone know how big these guys get? I have seen a bunch of different answers when i did a web search.

Thanks

The truth may be somewhere in between. The original description gives the largest specimen as 13 cm (about 5 inches) SL.

Hi!

Is it trut that they are very sensible to bad water and low temperatures under 26°C...think i read that somewhere.

@degrassi why only get one and not a pair?

I wanted to only get one since it said that they get 8". Plus the cost 25$

so they only get 5"? well thats the same as regular bristlenose pleco you see all the time.

I wanted to get one for its larger size then the normal ones, but if they get the same lenght then i guess i will stick with the cheaper version.
