Chubby Pleco L056

The L056 Chubby Pleco (Parancistrus aurantiacus) is a beautiful addition to the planted or community aquarium, and an amazing algae eater!

They do like caves, driftwood and overhangs to reside in/on. They are a smaller, hardy species of plecostomus.

Their diet consists highly of vegetable and plant matter, along with small amounts of meaty foods like bloodworms, krill and shrimp. Veggie wafers, herbivore diets and frozen foods fed closer to "lights out" will be appreciated.

They need to have excellent water quality, so please make sure to provide them with these conditions so you will have a stunning fish to add to your aquarium!
