Lovely plec hes a beauty
But
hes a common plec often reachs 18" and needs a min of 4x2x2 if u cannot cater for this fish... its easyier to rehome when small.
Im not being mean i just want the best for your fish.
and if you have it in a huge tank please do accept my appologie.

He does look gorgeous. He will last for years and his appetite will soon surprise you. What are you currently feeding him on?

Glad to hear. I have found that bits of spinach are also good for them.

i'm surprised noone's told you he isn't a common plec yet - he's an l001, otherwise known as a gold spot. he'll reach similar large proportions though.

I've heard of them getting up to 20", PC are generally on the cautious side size wise. I've seen a beauty 16" one before, he was a cracker.
I agree though - min tank size should be 4 x 18" x 18". That's assuming he stays around average (10-16"). Any bigger and it'll have to be a x 2 x 2. Incidentally, my L001 grew very quickly. Easily as quickly as a common (1" per month average).
