Collection: Plecos & Catfish

Plecos & Catfish are both members of the catfish family, known for their bottom-dwelling habits and scavenging behavior. Plecos, short for Plecostomus, are a type of armored catfish often recognized by their sucker mouths and algae-eating abilities. They help keep aquariums clean. Catfish, a broader group, come in many varieties—some peaceful, some more aggressive—and are known for their whisker-like barbels and adaptability to various environments. Together, they play vital roles in freshwater ecosystems as cleaners and detritivores.
