yep i will go along with that. they get rather big and most people have to rehome. IMO they shouldnt be kept in home aquaria as most people buy them and then have to rehome anyway. they should be left in the wild. the same with all large catfish as the majority of the public do not have the space or knowledge to care for them correctly.

(you could have a large tan though.)

just was i would say

im suprised most people cant id comons
they are amoung the easiest to recognise

its the body shape that gets it for me

i agree truck, its got a more squarish shape than other plecos
