L-018(gold nugget) size

[BrkD]

ive been researching about gold nugget plecos but the part about their sizes seem very inaccurate. some website say they grow to 6 inches max while others say 10 inches. so heres my question to people that has experience and owns a l-018. how big was yours when you first bought it? how long have you had it for? and whats the size of your l-018 now?

I'm pretty sure 6 inches is the max... thier may be some rare cases of Shaquille O'neal type gold nuggets that reached 10 inches, but on average they are going to be around 6 inches for you.

I've had one full grown a long time and he is actually only about 5.
