Came on a plant I a few years ago. Just keeps growing. How big will they be?

Beautiful lemon blue eyed Bristlenose pleco! I assume male based on the moustache coming in. He won’t get too large, roughly 5inches max I believe.

Bristlenose pleco. Gets to about 10-15cm usually.

Assuming it’s some sort of bottom fish, even a possible a catfish but I’m seeing some unique fins which make me wonder if this could be loach. Might be eating your other fish soon as the get 1ft.

You’ve won a watch getting him for free, 6 inches max and comfortable living on his own. Helps with Algae but poos all day so you might see an uplift in Nitrates. These guys love drift wood with plants and caves to hide.
Fin nipping fish might annoy him but these guys are usually pretty bullish and robust.
How big is your tank? Will this fish suit your layout? They are great fish to keep.

I think it’s eating a yummy snack! 😋

Last night, one of mine managed to squirm his way up and into my Tidal 110 and feasted for about an hour on algae on top of the matrix bag. He’s done it before and since I know he can just pop back down into the tank, I let him pig out. They are funny little things!

Looks like a bristlenose pleco. Super glutinous fish. (At least mine is lol)
