Many species of plecos are considered medium, with a size of 4 to 8 inches, offering a variety for those who do not have large aquariums but still want diversity. Most of these species have striking features and beautiful colors.
Reserved for more experienced aquarists who want a different touch in their aquariums, the large plecos, over 8 inches in size, offer an imposing presence and characteristics that can highlight your aquarium.
The difference in size between fish is a characteristic that must be noted. Different pleco species have varying sizes, from a few inches to over a foot in length. When populating the tank, always consider the maximum size the species can reach.
