About
The L190 Royal Pleco is a large, armored catfish native to South America. Known for its striking striped patterns and powerful sucker mouth, it is primarily a wood-eater (xylophagous), requiring plenty of driftwood in its aquarium. They are generally peaceful but need a very large tank due to their adult size.
