Amazon Sailfin Plecostomus

The Amazon Sailfin Pleco is a popular species among aquarium enthusiasts due to its distinctive sail-like dorsal fin, large size, and impressive algae-cleaning abilities. Native to the Amazon River basin, this Pleco is a hardy and robust species, suitable for larger freshwater aquariums. Incorporate plenty of driftwood, caves, and hiding spots. Sailfin Plecos like to rest during the day and will appreciate shaded areas. Driftwood is especially important, as Plecos tend to rasp on it, aiding their digestion and offering them refuge.
