I remember seeing some large plecos there but nothing that was as large as me (at the time) although it has been a while since I was there.
Common Pleco?

=/ i hope you're not really only five feet. like i said, could've been a little less, somewhere between 4 and 5. when i go back this fall, i'll try to find someone in the know how to ask about their sizes. maybe they just grew since you were there or maybe you just didn't see them. there's a lot of room to miss fish.
Like I said, AT THE TIME I don't remember there being a pleco that large. I was probably 10-11 years old at the time.
Agreed
A lot of Pterygoplichthys sp. including pardalis and gibbiceps are considered common. Alas, I hate common names as they offer little validity to the actual identification of a particular species.
Wow. just.......wow.
agreed, again
Really, where are you people getting this info from?lol
I would say pterygoplichthys sp. for sure, and I am going to guess that it would be pterygoplichthys pardalis. Careful, they get 16 feet long and eat feeder puppies.LOL
planetcatfish.com says 39" for A.adonis which is the biggest I can find.
I would hope they would be aware of a larger plec. For now I am chalking up the "5 foot pleco" as a measurement error.

planetcatfish doesn't know everything. =/
i don't appreciate people calling me a liar.
even if it wasn't quite five feet, i know it was close.

Not saying you are a liar, but judging length just by eyesight is not very accurate. For all I know you may be correct but I'm going to stick with the info given from a very reputable website. I guess that's just how my mind works.
