Product Description
The Chocolate Zebra Pleco is an armored suckermouth catfish that patrols glass, driftwood, and decor grazing algae. Smaller species like bristlenose remain tank-friendly at 4 to 6 inches, while common plecos can exceed 18 inches and need very large aquariums.
Feeding Instructions
Feeding Instructions
Feed sinking algae wafers and vegetable-based foods after lights-out, supplemented with blanched zucchini or cucumber weekly. Algae alone is not a sufficient diet.
Habitat and Care
Habitat and Care
Habitat and Care
Keep in an aquarium sized for the species' adult length - 29 gallons minimum for dwarf types, 75+ gallons for common plecos - at 72-82°F. Provide driftwood, which many plecos rasp as part of their diet, and caves for daytime shelter. Strong filtration is important; plecos produce substantial waste.
