About This Species
The Royal Pleco is a large and impressive wood-eating catfish with a light-colored body and dark, wavy stripes. They have powerful teeth designed for scraping wood, which must be the main component of their diet and environment. They are territorial towards other plecos and require a very large, well-filtered tank.
