The gold spot pleco is a fantastic consideration for the master fish keepers who want an alternative to the common or sailfin pleco. These fish have a beautiful colour and reach up to 40 cm. These plecos often get a bad reputation as they are sold at a small size as a 'cleaner' fish to beginners who are unaware of their maximum growing size and poor aquarium cleaning behaviour. Gold spot plecos are just as messy as large South American cichlids

Different colourIm not sure if they change as they mature, but the two plecos I received are not like what is shown in the two images above. Mine are dark bodied with light markings, basically opposite of what is shown. Could pass for a bristlenosed cat at a glance. Not really what I was expecting for the name or the price. But yes, they are very cute.

Golden Spot PlecosHi All,
I got 2 of these guys a few weeks back now. These guys are sharing a tank with my African Cichlids and are going great guns. The Plecos turned up an where a little bigger than what they were listed as. My tank is 6x2x3 and have found it difficult to keep the glass clean, but wow do the guys rip into the algae and since owning them I haven't had to scrub glass.
Thanks again Livefish for another great Fish......Posted on

Great fishI got three of these for my tank 2 months ago and they are growing soo fast! They are very social and are always out - in my 6 food tank with lots of hiding spots i can always see at least one pleco if not all of them. They always come out every morning and evrey night when i feed the other fish to clean up any scraps
