LDA25 PITBULL PLECO

Scientifically known as Parotocinclus jumbo(also named Goby Pleco, LDA25 Plecothe in the aquarium hobby), the Pitbull pleco natives from the rivers and streams in Eastern Brazil. 

They are most often seen in large groups and graze on algae in the wild. The pitbull pleco is an excellent alternative to otos, the best algae control fish, due to its smaller size and hardiness. However, they are omnivores who are not very picky about their food and should be kept in groups of at least three to thrive.
