L600 LEOPARD CACTUS PLECO

The L600/LDA073 Leopard Cactus Pleco (Pseudacanthicus leopardus) is a member of the Loricariidae family of South American suckermouth catfishes. This omnivorous species is known for its "spiny" odontodes reticulated body pattern, and the bold orange coloration of its dorsal fin and tail. It can grow to a rather impressive size, but not so large that it will outgrow a reasonably large aquarium.
