How big will my Clown pleco get?

[Vincenia]

I used to keep my clown pleco in a 5g, then moved him to a 10g. Now he's in my 37g and seems to be much happier then he was in the 10. Cause I think he's the perfect size for my 37g since he's a lot smaller then what my common was. My dad told me that the Clown pleco is also called a Rock Pleco. Is that true?


How big do these plecos get?

that pleco is just fine in the 37g. Clown plecos should get 5-6" I believe and no idea about it maybe being called a rock pleco.

I been told they get to 3-4 inches.

I have had one for 5 years now, and it is 3 inches at the most. It looks to be the same size as yours. They stay small. And are one of the ones that needs wood in it's diet. I have never heard of them refereed to as rock plecos myself.

I don't have any drift wood at all and don't have the money to get wood for my tank..

Then I would find a new home for you pleco.

I'm not going to give up my Clown, I had him for about a year now and seems fine. I spent $12 for him. I may buy a small piece of drift wood once I get a new job or some money. I have a local pet shop near by, I could ask if they have small peices of drift wood, or I'll look for some in the river when I go fishing and rinse it off pretty good.

They need it ti live! You need to go get some. Even if you go get one outside and put it in the dishwasher without soap.
