Pleco L201

The Pleco L201, commonly known as the Snowball Pleco, is a highly attractive freshwater catfish famous for its deep black body covered in bright white polka-dot patterns. This unique contrast gives it a “snowball” appearance, making it one of the most sought-after plecos among aquarium hobbyists.

Pleco L201 is peaceful, hardy, and well-suited for community tanks. It is an excellent bottom-dweller that helps control algae while also scavenging leftover food. Unlike common plecos, L201 stays relatively small, making it suitable for medium-sized aquariums. It prefers well-oxygenated water, hiding spots like driftwood or caves, and subdued lighting.
