Add a striking visual to your aquarium with the L201 Pleco, also known as the Snowball Pleco. Native to the fast-flowing rivers of Venezuela, this beautifully patterned fish features a deep black body contrasted by bright white or yellowish spots—resembling snowflakes, hence the nickname. Peaceful in nature and ideal for community tanks, the L201 Pleco is a bottom-dweller that helps control algae while adding exotic charm.

This hardy species prefers well-oxygenated water and ample hiding spots like driftwood, caves, and rocks. Unlike common Plecos, the Snowball Pleco stays relatively small—typically growing up to 5–6 inches—making it perfect for mid-sized planted aquariums.
