How big will this pleco get??
I am not 100% sure, but I think it's a leopard sailfin plecostomus? Or a butterfly pleco?? Do I have it right?
I am curious how big this guy is going to get, right now I think he's about 6 or 7 inches. I got him about a year ago, he was about 2 inches long then. Seems like he's growing insanely fast... is this normal? Right now he get a Mazuri algae wafer every night, and a fresh slice of either sweet potato or zucchini which I take out in the morning. Is this enough? Should he get more wafers? Thanks for any info on Ragnarok, he is definitely my favorite fish in the tank!  Oh... and a cool swooshy picture

Re: How big will this pleco get??
Wow, 18 inches huh? I wonder how long it will take for him to get that big. He's in 100 gallon tank, hope I don't have to upgrade again anytime soon!

Re: How big will this pleco get??
He should be fine for quite awhile. Once they get older they slow down on growth.

Re: How big will this pleco get??
You can help keep him happy and healthy by giving him real drift wood - they eat it - as well as algae wafers of course. (Kinda' looked like you may have some in your first pic.)

Re: How big will this pleco get??
He has 3 large pieces of driftwood in there, loves it for sure! He seems to prefer zuchinni over sweet potato... Which is a bummer cause it is such a mess!
