Información del producto

🐟 L018 Gold Nugget Pleco (Baryancistrus xanthellus)

The L018 Gold Nugget Pleco is a spectacular loricariid renowned for its striking black body covered with bright yellow or gold spots, resembling scattered nuggets of gold. Due to its vivid coloration when young, it is a very popular pleco among fish enthusiasts. However, it can be challenging to keep alive to adulthood because of its complex dietary needs that are difficult to replicate in home aquariums. Even when accepted, prepared aquarium foods may not fully meet the nutritional requirements this species obtains in the wild.
