Albino Chocolate Pleco

Name: Albino Chocolate Pleco
Scientific Name: Hypostomus plecostomus (albino variant)
Maximum Length: About 10–12 inches
Favorite Things: Spacious aquariums (55+ gallons) with driftwood, smooth rocks, and hiding places. Prefers warm, well-oxygenated water with moderate current. Feeds on algae, sinking wafers, blanched vegetables, and occasional protein foods like shrimp pellets or bloodworms.
Best Buddies: Peaceful community fish of similar size—great with larger tetras, barbs, cichlids, or loaches. Avoid pairing with smaller fish or delicate plants, as plecos may occasionally rasp on soft leaves.
