L-75 Rio de Para Pleco

Rio de Para Pleco

The true Rio De Para pleco is rare and may be the most exceptionally colored pleco on the market. Also called the L75 Leopard Pleco, when they are caught by our Colombia exporter it is a treat. These plecos are bright yellow and gold with a leopard spot pattern on the dorsal fin and broad lines and spots all over the body. Typically caught at three inches, many come in at five and six inches. All are gentle scavengers and very hardy. At two to three inches the pattern is not as exciting as they will be when the they get to four to five inches, but the pattern is still there.
