The Green Phantom Plecostomus is a vibrant green bottom dweller and popular among collector aquarist. Can be territorial with other bottom dwellers, especially those of its own kind. Provide plenty of vegetable matter for them to eat such as raw or balanced vegetables, spirulina algae tablets, and occasional meaty treats. Provide plenty of caves and driftwood for the Phantom to hide in.
