Información del producto

🐟 L021 Common Pleco – (Pterygoplichthys pardalis)

The L021 Common Pleco is one of the most recognizable and widespread plecos in the aquarium hobby. Often sold as a juvenile algae-eater, these fish can grow impressively large and are best suited for big tanks or ponds. Despite being labeled as “common,” they’re anything but ordinary—resilient, hardy, and equipped with a beautiful pattern of dark spots and armor-like plating.


🌊 Tank Setup

  • 🏞️ Large tank (minimum 75 gallons for adults)
  • 🪵 Driftwood, smooth rocks, hiding spots
  • 💧 Moderate to strong filtration needed for high bio-load

🍽️ Diet

  • 🥬 Omnivore – enjoys algae wafers, veggies (zucchini, cucumber), and protein-rich supplements
  • 🧽 Excellent algae cleaner when young

⚖️ Temperament

  • 🤝 Generally peaceful
  • 👑 May become territorial with age
  • ⚠️ Can outgrow smaller tanks quickly

🧠 Behavior & Care

  • 💤 Nocturnal but may become active during the day
  • 💪 Extremely hardy and adaptable
  • ⚠️ Requires space to thrive as it can exceed 18 inches
