    what kind is it? if its a normal pleco i would say at least a 55 gallon tank, regular feeding, regular water changes of 20-25% (done about once a week)...i have a feeling im missing another crucial factor....

    Leopard (aka sailfin) plecos should get around 18".

    How old is yours?

    leopard plecos get to be about a foot in size they arent picky eaters but I would try to give him some freeze dried bloodworms this might help him to grow alittle faster the recomended tank size is 70 gallons so you should have plenty of room for him to get full grown

    Most fish grow really quickly to a certain size then slow down considerably. My guess is your pleco is to the point where his growth rate is slowing down.
