Cleaner (Pleco) Fish

                                   Cleaner (Pleco) Fish

Pleco Fish are well-known for their algae-eating abilities and unique, sucker-like mouths. These fish come in two color options: Albino (white with red eyes) and Black (dark body with lighter undersides). The 2-inch fish we sell are perfect for small to medium-sized tanks and will grow to a maximum size of 1.5ft (18 inches) in a fully mature tank.

Water Parameters:

• Temperature: 24°C – 28°C
• pH: 6.5 – 7.5
• GH: 4 – 12 dGH
• TDS: 150 – 250 ppm

Pleco Fish are adaptable to a range of freshwater conditions, making them a great addition to most aquariums across Pakistan.

Tank Setup:

Plecos are bottom-dwellers that need a smooth substrate, such as sand or fine gravel, to move around comfortably. They also appreciate planted tanks with driftwood and rocks for hiding and feeding. While they start at 2 inches, they will grow to their full size of 18 inches over time, so a tank size of at least 30 gallons is recommended for mature plecos.

Feeding: Plecos are primarily algae eaters but will benefit from a varied diet. Offer them sinking pellets, blanched vegetables, and small live or frozen foods like bloodworms and brine shrimp. This ensures they get the nutrition they need while also helping to keep your tank clean.

Breeding: Breeding Pleco Fish is rare in home aquariums, especially with the 2-inch size. They require specific water parameters and conditions for successful breeding, and most plecos in the trade are commercially bred.

Compatibility: Plecos are peaceful and make excellent tankmates for other non-aggressive species like tetras, mollies, and Corydoras. Their peaceful nature allows them to coexist well in community tanks, but larger, more aggressive species should be avoided.
