I added this pleco to my 10-gallon tank and it has been thriving. It’s small and doesn’t take up much space. The albinism makes it stand out in the tank. Very easy to care for and doesn’t stress the plants.

Great addition to my community tank. It’s active but not aggressive. The color contrast with the dark plants is nice. I didn’t have to adjust water parameters much after setting it up.

Perfect for a beginner. It’s peaceful and stays in one area. I love the unique white color. It’s grown well in my planted tank with no issues.
