Is it just me, or do you find that the max size listed for plecos is often much bigger than they actually get? Its like if they listed max size for humans they would say 8 feet, but most of us grow to about 6 feet.
In any case, I have had a Royal for about six months now. I got it when it was 2" long, now it is 3" to 3 1/2" long. I was told it would be about 8" by now. In my experience, people either really overestimate the max size of plecos or overestimate their growth rate, because they are not the "tank busters" that a lot of "knowledgeable" aquarists claim them to be.
