What Plecoptera Is This And How Big Will It Get

[Seal36]

Hi guys I brought this Plecoptera about a year ago and I am just wondering what Plecoptera it is and how big it will grow at the minute it's about 3 to 4 inches and I am wondering if it will grow any bigger and what type it is thanks from Tom

I dunno about the species. Just wanted to let you know, Plecoptera is a type of insect also known as stone flies. Plecostomus is the sucker catfish you're referring to.

I can't be 100% certain from that pic (I know plecs are really hard to get photos of!) but it looks like a bristlenose.

If it is, it'll get to about four or five inches; maybe six (there are a few different species sold under the name 'bristlenose').

Probably a BN If its a year old with small bristles then its probably FM. 
 
For reference, this is my FM Bristlenose;

 
Yours looks to have a greenish colour

Maybe a juvenile green phantom ? but to me looks more of the ancistrus genera

I'd say it's a bushynose, but green phantom is a possibility.  The price you paid for it will tell you a lot cause a phantom is considerably more.

I will get a better picture but it does have little bristles and I can't remember how much I paid for it.

And how big will a starlight bristle nose grow and I love the name of the species it made me go ahhhh

I've seen as big as 7 inches but I think 4-5 is more common.
