Thanks in advance

They will fight. The older they get the nastier it will get. They can be aggressive to any pleco, but at least other plecos back down and avoid confrontations. Gibbiceps don't know the meaning of 'back down'.

2 Spotted Hifins in a 75 gallon? I would probably just stick to one to be honest. They get to around 18" and have a huge bioload..so that'll really hurt your water with two and having other fish.

Okay will do. Thanks guys!

How fast do plecos grow?

Pretty slow..they're still popping machines lol. I have a spotted hifin and he maybe a half inch in about 2 months. He is about the size of my thumb.

I got one that was about inch in a half, about 4 months later he was pushing 6 inches, he was well fed.
