Leapord Frog Pleco see L134

Really nice fish, they max out at 4" So they stay small, mine is all over the place cleaning and hanging around.

A good price is about 65.00 and I wouldn't suggest buying under 2" because babies can be harder to adjust to a tank and you are more likely to have them die :(

Peckoltia compta • Loricariidae • Cat-eLog • PlanetCatfish

the one in the photo is a male see his fleshy "fangs" that means he is a male. :)
