The L134 Pleco (Peckoltia compta), also known as the Leopard Frog Pleco, is a highly sought-after freshwater fish native to Brazil. It is prized for its stunning black and yellow/cream striping, small maximum adult size (3.5 to 4.5 inches), and peaceful temperament.
Care Guide
- Tank Size: Minimum 20-gallons for a single fish, though a 30 to 40-gallon setup is better for a community.
- Water Parameters: Temperature: 79°F - 86°F (26°C - 30°C); pH: 6.0 - 7.5; Hardness: 5 - 15 dGH.
- Diet: Unlike many plecos, they are omnivores that require a high-protein diet. Feed them high-quality sinking pellets, frozen bloodworms, and insectivore gel diets, supplementing with occasional blanched zucchini or spinach.
- Tank Setup: They need heavily oxygenated water, moderate to high flow, and plenty of hiding spots like caves, rocks, and driftwood.
