4-5 inches, and I dont care much if they're poop factories, if you keep up on water changes is ISNT a big deal, they do a VERY good job with cleaning up algae. My 28 gallon is squeeky clean because of my pleco.

Yes, they poop as much as other plecos and grow rather big for a 20g, males up to 5-5.2 inches.

My pleco poo's and poo's and poo's. I can tell were he spent the most time over-night just by where the pile of poo is. In fact it's almost to the point that I may as well get a darker substrate to help conceal it.
