Candy Striped Pleco L015

Candy-striped plecos share the same protein-leaning diet and clean-water preference as most Hypancistrus-type L-number plecos, doing noticeably better on frequent water changes and meaty foods than on algae alone. The bold, high-contrast banding provides genuine disruptive camouflage against dappled rock and driftwood, breaking up the fish's outline rather than trying to blend into a solid background.
