Plecos can vary in size from 2" full grown to 2' full grown depending on the type.

Check this site out for info on them

Another site you might find of interest is www.plecofanatics.com

Sorry I don't know how to do the link thing where you just click on the words, so you'll have to type it in.

I find this site more user friendly than planetcatfish, but they are both very good.

Tiger as in King Tiger L66/L333?

'Plecos' do grow at different rates, typically larger species grow faster.

If it is a King Tiger, its not going to help you out much in the algae department. They're carnivorous. Although they'll nibble zucchini skin for amusement.
