About

The L204 Flash Pleco is a striking Loricariid catfish known for its dark body adorned with intricate yellow to white stripes or spots. Hailing from the Amazon basin, this species is primarily xylophagous, meaning it feeds on wood, making driftwood an essential part of its habitat and diet. They are generally peaceful and can be a great addition to a larger community tank.
