🐟 White Cactus Pleco - (Pseudacanthicus sp. (2)) – Striking Spotted South American Pleco for Sale

The White Cactus Pleco (Pseudacanthicus sp. (2)) is a highly sought-after South American armored catfish prized for its bold appearance and impressive size. Displaying a deep, dark body covered in sharp white spots with large, spiny dorsal and pectoral fins, this pleco has the classic “cactus” look that pleco collectors love. Native to fast-flowing rivers, it thrives in large, well-oxygenated aquariums with rocky hiding spots, driftwood, and strong filtration.

Perfect for advanced pleco keepers, the White Cactus Pleco is a carnivorous species that does best with a protein-rich diet and tankmates that can handle its territorial nature. Its stunning contrast, armored build, and rarity make it a centerpiece fish in any serious pleco collection.
