Fish Details, Description and Information Below:

🐟 L341 Shrinking Pleco (Panaqolus sp.)

The L341 Shrinking Pleco is the rarest pleco from Peru, known for its compact size and striking patterning. This species thrives in well-oxygenated tanks with plenty of driftwood and hiding places. To date, that we know of, only 3 species of this pleco have been imported to the US, all by Jason’s Plecos & Cichlids, making it highly sought after by collectors. Its peaceful temperament and manageable size make it an excellent choice for community aquariums.
