Default pleco question...

In March I bought a pleco from a lfs here in Calgary. When I bought him he was 3 inches long. Right this second he is still 3 inches long. To the best of my knowledge he is a common pleco, not one of the kinds that stays shorter. He gets a good meal of cucmber, zuchinni, algae wafers, blood worms, brine shrimp, sinking pellets, etc. He devours all this food and yet he isn't growing. My cousin bought a 4 inch pleco back in December that is now 8 inches long. I have my pleco in a 29 gallon tank. I'm just wondering if there's a reason that my pleco isn't growing at all?
