I added the L-129 Zebra Plecostomus to my 30-gallon tank and it has been thriving. The black and white stripes stand out well in the water. It spends most of its time near the bottom, eating algae naturally. Very easy to care for and doesn’t stress other fish. A great addition to a community tank.

The fish arrived healthy and has been active since setup. It’s not very aggressive and doesn’t chase other fish. I noticed it cleaning the glass and substrate at night. A bit shy at first but now it’s comfortable in the tank.
