L134 Leopard Frog Pleco
The L134 Leopard Frog Pleco (Peckoltia compta) is a highly sought-after dwarf pleco species prized for its intricate spotted pattern and manageable size. This stunning catfish features a golden to brown body covered in dark leopard-like spots, creating a mesmerizing appearance that stands out in any aquarium setup.
Unlike common plecos that grow over a foot long, the L134 remains small, maxing out at approximately 4-5 inches, making it perfect for medium-sized aquariums. Native to the Tapajos River in Brazil, these peaceful bottom dwellers are excellent additions to community tanks and thrive in well-maintained environments with plenty of hiding spaces.
L134 Leopard Frog Plecos are primarily carnivorous, preferring protein-rich foods like sinking pellets, frozen bloodworms, and occasional algae wafers. They appreciate driftwood in the aquarium, which aids their digestion. These plecos prefer temperatures between 77-86°F and slightly acidic to neutral water (6.0-7.5 pH).
Premium L-number plecos shipped safely to your door. Healthy, quarantined specimens with expert care support included.
