The L076 Pleco, commonly known as the Orange Seam Pleco, is a medium-sized suckermouth catfish prized in the aquarium hobby for its striking orange-edged fins and peaceful temperament.
Key Characteristics
- Scientific Name: Peckoltia sp. (often associated with Peckoltia cavatica).

Aquarium Care & Behavior
