Fish Details, Description and Information Below:

🐟 L056 Black Gudgeon Pleco (Pseudancistrus sp.)

The L056 Black Gudgeon Pleco is a striking armored catfish species characterized by its dark body and bold markings, native to South American rivers. Unlike some similar species, this pleco does not change colors throughout its life.

⚠️ Important Clarification:

  • L056 is often mistakenly confused with the Chubby Pleco (Parancistrus aurantiacus), which does change colors and does not have an L number.
  • There is no such thing as L056Y — a label sometimes used online to suggest a color-changing variant of L056.
  • This confusion is widespread on the internet and exacerbated by exporters mislabeling Chubby Pleco as L056, which leads to misinformation.
