The Pitbull pleco, so named for its wide mouth, is the common name for Parotocinclus jumbo LDA25.

Gets to about two inches, is mostly a vegetarian but likes occasional bloodworm. Likes to burrow in sand and unusually for plecs prefers not to have a strong current.

Peaceful little fish.

we've got 6 (was 8 but one died a couple of days after shipping and one dissapeared)

they are great little plecs - they dont stop moving they love veg and algae. we're hoping to breed them soon

Piccy....
