L-29 Vampire Pleco

L-29 Vampire Pleco

The Vampire family of plecos receive their name due to a sharp tooth on the sucker mouth. The bite causes little more than surprise, but they do bite. Vampire plecos are scavengers and meat eaters. The galaxy vampire pleco has a small spot color pattern similar to distant stars. Currently in stock are the gold vampire variety, with tiny gold dots on a chocolate body. And a couple shiny white teeth.
