Received the juvenile tiger pleco in good condition. It’s active and seems healthy. After a few weeks, it started showing signs of its red and black pattern. The tank is now more lively with this fish. Easy to care for and very peaceful.

The fish arrived quickly and looked fine. It’s a bit smaller than the adult images, but that’s expected. It’s growing steadily and the coloration is developing well. I’m happy with the purchase.

Great addition to my 20-gallon tank. The fish is calm and doesn’t bother other fish. It’s been a few months now and the red and black markings are becoming more vivid. Very satisfied.
