What can the pleco experts tell me about a Royal Pleco?
They sure are lovely and my pet store has them for $49.95 Canadian. Is this a good price? They are about 3 inches in length now. Are they compatible with any other types of plecos? What I am looking for is info on tank size requirements, how big the plecs get, what they eat, compatibility with other fish and esp. plecos. Thanks.

They are semi aggressive towards other loricariids, specifically during feeding time. A 125 gallon minimum is recommended for these fish, for at full size, they reach past 15", not to mention they retain the wide stature of all panaques. 50 dollars for a three incher is excessive, as I can obtain one without an employee discount for around fifteen bucks.

Thanks Noodles!
I thought they looked the type to get quite large!
Perhaps one day down the road when I get that fabulous "its a clear wall? - no wait its a fish tank" that I have been dreaming of
