Great lookin fish
Not like discus. Takes quite awhile to mature. In a year my 1-2 inchers are 2-3 so it will be at least a year before I can think of them breeding.
Planet Catfish lists their maximum size as 5.1" (which seems oddly precise). These guys have reacted well to the daily 100% W/C and beefheart that gets spit out. They came in ~4" and seem awfully close to the maximum size listed now. There are 4 in this picture.

I moved them from a 3' tank to a 6'-tank because they eat so much and grow so fast. All plecos are shy, but these guys will cruise the tank bottom as soon as food hits to water surface. (Excuse the stupid angelfish.) I keep 6 other L-number plecos (a minor obsession), and none of them has grown this fast.

They seem big enough to be mature specimens. I need to move them to a spawning set-up where their world doesn't get turned upside down every morning with a 100% water change.
At my age, everything is irritating.
Good luck with them. Nice fish
I know this is an older thread, but I've loved having plecos. Started off white an albino bristlenose pleco in my main discus tank and now how Colombian zebra plecos and several King Tiger Plecos in my rainbow tank. Love seeing the little babies and the big ones together. I also find them so easy to keep which is nice when you are dealing with discus a lot that can out of no where get finicky.
Just cleaned up my large discus tank and want to rehome adult colonies of plecos

Must take colony - 4-6 fish each.
Requires a donation of $50 each colony to simply (the individual fry cost me between 30 and 50)
This is awesome timing, sent PM for more info.

But I don't think we know where you live, do we? I don't.
