L034 Medusa Pleco WILD 4cm

The L34 Medusa Pleco is a striking and rare bottom-dweller, prized for its unique bristled face and bold jet-black body. A true conversation piece, this pleco is perfect for aquarists who want something unusual beyond the common pleco varieties.

Key Features:

• Unique Appearance: Distinctive "medusa-like" tentacles around the face, giving this pleco its legendary name.

• Size: Grows up to 15 cm (around 6 inches), making it suitable for medium to large aquariums.

• Temperament: Peaceful and generally shy, best kept with non-aggressive tank mates.

• Diet: Omnivorous – enjoys sinking wafers, algae-based foods, fresh vegetables (courgette, cucumber, spinach), and occasional meaty foods like bloodworm or shrimp.

• Tank Requirements: Minimum 120L with driftwood, caves, and hiding places. Prefers soft, slightly acidic water (pH 5.8–7.2) with good oxygenation and moderate current.
