L021 Common Pleco - (Pterygoplichthys pardalis) Amelanistic
Información del producto

🐟 L021 Amelanistic Common Pleco – (Pterygoplichthys pardalis)

The Amelanistic Common Pleco is a rare and stunning color morph of the classic L021. Unlike the typical dark coloration, amelanistic plecos lack black pigment (melanin), giving them a glowing golden or pale appearance with lighter eyes. This dramatic coloration makes them stand out as centerpiece fish in larger aquariums or indoor ponds. Despite their unique look, they retain the same hardy nature and care requirements as their wild-type counterparts.


🌊 Tank Setup

  • 🏞️ Large tank (minimum 75 gallons for adults)
  • 🪵 Driftwood, hiding spaces, and smooth substrate
  • 💧 Strong filtration required for heavy waste load

🍽️ Diet

  • 🥬 Omnivorous – loves algae wafers, veggies (like zucchini, spinach), and protein-rich foods
  • 🧼 Helps clean algae but needs supplemental feeding

⚖️ Temperament

  • 🤝 Peaceful to semi-territorial
  • 👑 May become dominant over space as it grows
  • 🧍‍♂️ Best housed alone or with robust tank mates

🧠 Behavior & Care

  • 💤 Nocturnal but often active during the day in aquariums
  • 💪 Extremely hardy and resilient
  • 🌟 Rare coloration makes it highly desirable among collectors
