Clown Pleco
$10.00Price
The clown pleco, Panaqolus maccus, is a small, colorful freshwater catfish recognized by its dark body with distinctive yellow or white bands. Native to the rivers of Venezuela and Colombia, this species is a popular choice for aquariums due to its manageable size, typically reaching just 3.5–4 inches in adulthood. Known for its unique dietary needs, the clown pleco primarily consumes wood fiber along with algae, so driftwood is essential in its tank for both food and shelter. This pleco thrives in temperatures between 73-82°F, with a slightly acidic to neutral pH, and it’s a peaceful addition to community tanks.
