Akoh, how big can the polka dot pleco get? Saw a few at an lfs nearby. Left 2 maybe 3 pcs last time I went there.

BFG ! those polka dots pleco that you see in our LFS are either L248 or LDA 033, max. size ranges from 6 " to 8 ". The L095 Polka dot Spiny Pleco in the otherhand can grow to about 10" to 12 ". Cheers ! []

Simon, my lfs told me that if you want to keep twig catfish and royal whiptail you have to put some apple snails in your tank. Apparently apple snail produces something that keep whiptail healthy or alive. I don't think has been scientifically proven? Now I have 15 apple snails in my 4" tank maybe it's time to try whiptail again. Problem with apple snails they eat a lot and quite quick so my corys don't get enough to eat now.
