🐟 L600/LDA073 Leopard Cactus Pleco – Pseudacanthicus leopardus – South American Pleco for Sale

The L600/LDA073 Leopard Cactus Pleco for sale (Pseudacanthicus leopardus) is one of the most stunning and sought-after South American plecos in the aquarium hobby. Its golden to tan body is covered in bold black leopard-like spots, paired with large spiny fins that give it the classic cactus pleco look.

📌 Note on L-number classification: As of the time of this writing, L600 is not officially recognized as a true L-number, since the verified L-number system currently only goes up to L528. However, because exporters and hobbyists widely refer to this fish as L600, we use both L600 and LDA073 to help identify it.

Native to fast-moving rivers of South America, this species is prized by experienced aquarists for its impressive size, hardy nature, and striking appearance. While peaceful toward many tankmates, it can be territorial with other bottom dwellers, so plenty of hiding spaces and territorial boundaries are essential.
