Pleco Fish

Plecos are hardy, bottom-dwelling catfish prized for algae control in established aquariums. These nocturnal fish require spacious tanks (minimum 75 gallons for most species), driftwood for rasping and digestion, and stable water conditions between 72–82°F. Feed a varied diet of sinking pellets, vegetables, and occasional protein. Plecos grow large and live 10–20 years, making them a long-term commitment. Avoid overcrowding and provide hiding spots. Ideal for experienced aquarists seeking a low-maintenance yet substantial addition to their setup.
