Comment

I bought two of these plecos recently under the name Emperor Pleco. The contrast and pattern of their stripes make them VERY striking. They are by far the best looking pleco's I have ever seen. They are fun to watch as well, when feeding on algae wafers they can get quite feisty...if other fish come around they hold their fins tall and charge the fish with short bursts of speed, then quickly hide, then go back to feeding, then repeat over and over.
