This a plecotomus also know as pleco. This 

fish is a bottom feeder witch means he eats 

algae so you dont have to feed it often. these 

fish can get very big and start very small. 

there are lots of diffrent breeds but this is the 

most common one. They like to hide in caves 

or under rocks. If you scare them they will 

swim very fast and hide so aproach some 

slow, not all get scared easly.

Pleco can be huge like this one on the left they 

have suckers and you can go to page 5 to see 

a close up. Pleco can get up to 3 feet long! 

When they are born they are 2 centimeters 

long (after hatching from egg). These fish are 

fresh water,not hostile very frendly. Once in a 

while feed them algae tablets or contact a local 

pet store to find out about others.

Pleco also have very very small teeth. Look 

closley at the top and bottom of the mouth.

If you see a Plecostumus   sucking on 

something thats what they do, they are like 

snails they will clean your fish tank for you, but 

still clean it they dont get all of it! They will 

love if you have a little cavelike thing in there 

habitat for them to hide in and clean the most 

just like you do with your house, clean it!

Pleco come in many shapes and colors. these 

on the left are diffrent breeds. The yellow one 

is a Albino and the other is a Zebra pleco. 

Some are very very very expencive!! Some 

breed of pleco are indagered so treat them like 

they were your only way to live! They can also 

range from price just by size, big small huge, 

or even just normal size.

Pleco also have babies like anyother fish. This 

pleco on the left is a baby. They get smaller 

than that but thats about a five month old one 

but not one that just hatched from a egg. 

Pleco eggs are the color red and very small so 

be carefull, and watch in your tank because 

some fish will eat their eggs! Some fish will 

even eat baby fish and baby Pleco.

Pleco do have many breeds but this one on the 

left is a very rare one. The one on the left is a 

gold nugget pleco. They are called "gold 

nugget" because it is covered in gold spots. On 

the plecos fins at the top is also gold but the 

spots and fins are a gold yellow not perfectly 

gold. Many pleco have special things and 

personalites but some are normal, thats what 

makes them cool.

Now we have talked about most of plecos way 

of life now how about there appitiete. Pleco do 

eat algae but on the left is algae tablets. These 

tablets you should feed a pleco once a week 

but feed them three. Sometimes and most of 

times pleco will carry them with there suckers 

and bring them with them to there hiding 

spot.Pleco also live like best friends with the 

cat fish. They both like under rocks and in 

caves and algae.

Now we are back to rare pleco. The one on the 

left is mostley common in Australia and only 

like all live in fesh water not salt water like 

oceans. Like all pleco this one does eat algae, 

maybe i should tell you this and , all plecos eat 

algae. This one is a good sized one not like big, 

huge, or large is just good sized. It should go 

for $150.00 because its rare and good sized.

Finaly your average home fish tank for Pleco 

home habitat should kinda be like this. PLeco 

love rocks and hiding places and there are 

plenty. If you look closley on the floor in the 

tank and the glass there are lots of snails. 

Snails are also bottom feeders! That will make 

a real good habitat for fish because, it will be a 

nice clean environment. Check next page for 

more cool fish.
