A pleco for the keepers looking for something more challenging than a standard bristlenose pleco or common pleco. They can be difficult to feed but are worth it as they are unique looking compared to most Plecostomus. Provide plenty of hiding places, wood, protein, and veggies to munch on. Prefer tanks with high flow.
