I find mixed information on the internet.. some say 6.3 inches, others say 10inch+..
Im keeping him with some amano shrimp and some otocinclus affinis in a 60 gallon will he hurt them?
If my ID is correct. It shouldn’t get to more then 5 inches or so.
I’ve had one for about a year now and it’s only about 4 to 4 1/2 inches.
The otos should be fine. Once it gets some size it may take a shrimp now and then. Make sure it’s feed well this will cut down on the temptation to have a shrimp dinner.

The problem I’m sure you are finding out is these plecos can vary so much and spots can change with age this pleco may resemble several different species.
This is just my guess. There’s a number of plecos that have spots and look similar.

You may want to start your own ID thread to get more opinions.
