Common plecostomus can reach a length of 24-30".
The best plecos are the ancistrus family. They are usually called bushynosed or bristlenosed plecos because of the protrusions from their noses. They only grow to about 6-7" at the most.
The bushynoses are a much better fish, they are always busy doing clean-up work. The larger common plecos get lazy as they get larger.

I'll assume you're talking about the common pleco, Hypostomus plecostomus, which can reach sizes of 24"+

they can reach sizes of up to 24 inches some reported bigger they live up to 15 years but I think the size depends on how big your tank is also they do not grow that fast

The biggest i've seen (hypostomus plecostomus) was about 1.5 feet long. Assuming you're not talking about L numbers.
