Edward Bell –
The pleco is active and peaceful in my 30-gallon tank. It enjoys the substrate and doesn’t stress other fish. Easy to maintain with stable water conditions.
Lucas Roberts –
It has adapted well to my tank’s pH and temperature. The blue eyes are striking and it’s a good addition to a community aquarium.
Jack Metcalfe –
Very easy to keep. I didn’t have to adjust water parameters much. It’s active during the day and hides when not feeding.
