🐟 Albino Polka Dot Lyre Tail Pleco – (Acanthicus adonis) – Rare Color Morph of the Longest Pleco in the World

The Albino Polka Dot Lyre Tail Pleco (Acanthicus adonis) is a stunning and rare morph of the legendary Adonis Pleco, native to the Amazon Basin in South America. This variety showcases a pale cream-to-golden body covered in lighter polka dots, combined with the signature elongated lyre-shaped tail that makes the species so distinctive.

Like the standard Adonis Pleco, this morph is capable of reaching 40 inches or more, making it the longest of all plecos, possibly tied with the Hystrix Pleco (Acanthicus hystrix). Its massive size, territorial nature, and high activity level mean it is best suited for expert aquarists with extremely large aquariums or indoor ponds.
