Información del producto

🐟 Slate Pleco – (Pseudancistrus genisetiger) – Rare South American Pleco

The Slate Pleco (Pseudancistrus genisetiger) is a rare and beautifully patterned Loricariid from South America, known for its slate-gray body covered with intricate lighter markings and its distinctive cheek odontodes. This species is a bottom-dwelling algae grazer and detritus feeder, thriving in well-oxygenated waters with plenty of hiding places.

Due to its scarcity in the aquarium trade and specialized care requirements, it’s a prized choice for dedicated pleco collectors and aquarists with established setups.
