Description
Remarks: L262 Stardust Plecos (Hypancistrus sp.) are small, black Loricariids with tiny white spots all over their body and fins. They rarely grow past 4″, making them a fantastic choice for a colorful pleco in small tanks. Provide them with driftwood caves and some rocky structures to hide in when they are feeling shy, and they will feel right at home.
