Animal Description:

The Plecostomus makes a great addition to any tank. Besides its exotic appearance, a Plecostomus will help to maintain the ecology of an aquarium, by eating the algae that grows in it. For this reason, the Plecostomus is highly desired by experienced and beginning aquarists alike.

Plecostomus are a good community fish. They are peaceful, non-aggressive, and will not bother most other fish. However, the Plecostomus may suck on larger fish, such as Goldfish and Plecos. Plecostomus should be kept in large aquariums with heavy rock and plant decoration. The Plecostomus is nocturnal, and should have plenty of places to hide during the day.
