Clown Pleco L104
Panaqolus Maccus
Clown Plecos (Panaqolus maccus) are a small species of pleco that get their nutrition from eating driftwood and the organisms found living on its surface. Vegetables such as cucumbers or zucchini are appreciated as well, and should be offered as a supplement 1-3 times per week. The small size of this species makes them suitable for small tanks, as long as there is at least one piece of driftwood present.

Received the Clown Pleco in good condition. It’s small and calm, and it’s already showing interest in the driftwood. I feed it cucumber slices once a week and it seems to enjoy it. The tank is 100L and the water parameters are stable. Easy to care for and fits well in my small aquarium.

The fish arrived quickly and looks healthy. It’s peaceful and doesn’t seem to stress other tank mates. I’ve been offering zucchini once a week and it’s active when the food is placed. The size is small, which is perfect for my 100L tank.

I’ve had this pleco for two months now. It’s very active and eats the driftwood regularly. The water pH and temperature are within the recommended range. It’s a low-maintenance fish that adapts well to the tank environment.
