🐟 L520 – Pseudacanthicus sp. – Cactus Pleco for Sale

The L520 Cactus Pleco for sale (Pseudacanthicus sp.) is a stunning South American freshwater pleco admired for its bold spiny body, strong build, and captivating pattern. Native to rocky river habitats, this species is ideal for large aquariums with driftwood, caves, and excellent filtration.

Jason’s Plecos & Cichlids may have been the first to import this species to the United States — or at least the first to properly identify it and add it to PlanetCatfish.com — helping bring it to the attention of pleco collectors worldwide.
