The Mega Clown Peckoltia comes from the rivers and tributaries of South America. The main body color is brown with intense yellow irregular stripes. This sleek Pleco is ideal for any community tank.

Planted aquariums with hardy, fast-growing plants, high aeration, and water movement provide a healthy environment. Rocks and driftwood help to accent a natural habitat and provide hiding spaces to reduce the stress for the Mega Clown Peckoltia. A recommended minimum tank of 30 gallons should be provided to house this fish.

The Mega Clown Peckoltia has yet to spawn in an aquarium setting, so the breeding habits of this incredible fish are not yet recorded.

Feeding the Mega Clown Peckoltia is not difficult since it is not a finicky eater. Feeding off the bottom of the aquarium, it gets most of its nutrition from left over food and algae. If there is no algae or left over food present, supplement with high quality flake food, sinking carnivore pellets, freeze-dried bloodworms, and tubifex.

Ideal tank mates include: Angelfish, Discus, African Cichlids, South American Cichlids, Tetras, Barbs, Danios, Rasboras, Gouramis, Rainbowfish, Guppies, Platies, Mollies, Swordtails, Loaches, Plecos and Scavenger Catfish.
