Albino Chocolate Pleco ~2"

The Albino Chocolate Pleco, also known as the L270 or Baryancistrus demantoides, is a beautiful and rare species of freshwater aquarium fish. It is a member of the Loricariidae family, which includes a variety of bottom-dwelling, algae-eating fish commonly known as plecos or plecostomus. As its name suggests, the Albino Chocolate Pleco has a unique coloration that combines an albino white body with a rich brown or chocolate colored pattern. This contrast creates a striking and eye-catching appearance that makes it a popular choice for aquarium enthusiasts.

Like other plecos, Albino Chocolate Plecos are nocturnal and can be quite shy, so it's important to provide them with plenty of hiding spots and a dimly lit aquarium. They are generally peaceful and can be kept with other non-aggressive fish species, but they may become territorial with other plecos or similar bottom-dwelling fish. Overall, the Albino Chocolate Pleco is a fascinating and unique addition to any freshwater aquarium. Its striking appearance and peaceful nature make it a popular choice for hobbyists looking to add a bit of flair to their tank.
