@knobhil: he is around 9inches.. Biggest L47 ive ever owned.. They are very slow growers, paid an expensive fee for a big one.. But its all worth it.. 
I also noticed that he has some yellowish spots which are not visible on the juvenile stage..
@Linus: Yes they are all living together in the same pond.. With lots of driftwoods and rocks for hiding places.. I will create an 8ft x 2.5ft x 2.5ft tank soon and transfer the smaller plecos there. So far they are living harmoniously the only bullies in the pond are the big L240a.. Other than that I don't see any aggression yet.. Before I had a big tank with a huge 14incher L14 with 12incher Scarlets, Leopards and Panaques no problems at al.. I just make sure that they are fed well and they have alot of hiding places.
@Anub: Thank you sir!
@calcnerd: Thank you sir!
@2wheels: Thank you! The pond gives more space, but I really prefer to keep them in tanks.. As I seldomly see them in the pond..
I'm looking forward to create a huge tank for the smaller plecos soon!
@obryan: Thank you sir! Go for it and separate them a tank per family..

Yeah, they're tough enough to see in a tank. I have 2 L273 and and L114 (all < 4" standard length) and I see them only at feeding time.
@2wheels though luck! even the bigger plecos are always hidding.. haha sometimes before I go to sleep, I would check on the pond and will see the L273 roaming around looking for food. As for the panaques, no matter what size they are they are always scared..
@AOmonsta: L number is the way we identify them.. Too many species, so its alot easier to identify them that way..
Quite often they have not been officially catalogued. The L# is more of a location marker of where it was originally collected. They usually can classify which genus it should belong to, but that's about it.
