L-260 Queen Arabesque Pleco

L-260 Queen Arabesque Pleco

The queen arabesque pleco, sometimes grouped in with the gyspy king pleco as an Imperial King Tiger Pleco, has finer lines and lacier fins that the gypsy king. MORE IMPORTANTLY the queen arabesque pleco only grows to four inches so these are great additions for a  mid size aquarium.

Wild caught in Brazil, queen plecos are good scavengers and omniverous, but will require the addition of algae wafers a couple times a week. Also add driftwood - they enjoy chewing on the wood and need hiding areas.
