King Tiger Pleco Information

 

King Tiger Pleco L066 King Tiger Pleco L066 King Tiger Plecos originally came from Brazil.  They should be fed pellets to ensure the food reaches the bottom for them.  They spend most of their time in hiding.  They are used to stone and sand with few plants.  The males are brighter and darker in coloration.  Tiger Plecos are less aggressive than other plecos.  They will spawn if they have a dark cave location.  It takes about a week for the fry to hatch.
