L-350 Black Coal Pleco

L-350 Black Coal Pleco

The L-350 Black Coal Pleco, or the Imperial Coal Pleco, is caught in larger streams off the Amazon basin in Peru. These are hardy creatures that grow to 18 inches and live a long time. The coal pleco is a gentle giant that even gets along with small corydoras. These rare catfish are scavengers and should be provided a mixed diet of algae wafers and community pellets. Like most plecos, driftwood provides a habitat and a food source for this exotic pet fish.
