Gold Nugget Pleco L018

The  Gold Nugget pleco (L018, Baryancistrus xanthellus) is a beautiful addition to the planted or community aquarium.

They do like caves, driftwood and overhangs to reside in/on, and they do need a decent bit of flow in their aquarium(provided with powerheads/ high filtration).

Their diet consists highly of vegetable and plant matter, along with small amounts of meaty foods like bloodworms, krill and shrimp. Veggie wafers, herbivore diets and frozen foods fed closer to "lights out" will be appreciated.

They need to have excellent water quality, so please make sure to provide them with these conditions so you will have a stunning fish to add to your aquarium!
