Albino Sailfin Pleco 2–2.5” Live Freshwater Algae Eater Aquarium Fish

Albino Sailfin Pleco measuring approximately 2–2.5 inches. This attractive freshwater catfish features a distinctive albino coloration, impressive sail-like dorsal fin, armored body, and classic pleco appearance, making it an excellent addition to larger freshwater aquariums.

Although offered at a juvenile size, Sailfin Plecos can grow quite large as adults, so a spacious aquarium with strong filtration should be planned for long-term care.

Provide driftwood, caves, rocks, and shaded hiding areas along with good oxygenation and stable water conditions. They spend much of their time exploring aquarium surfaces and the substrate in search of food.

Offer a varied diet including quality algae wafers, sinking pleco pellets, spirulina-based foods, and fresh vegetables, supplemented with appropriate protein-rich foods. They should not rely solely on naturally occurring aquarium algae for nutrition.

Generally compatible with many appropriately sized freshwater fish, although sufficient territory and hiding areas should be provided when keeping multiple bottom dwellers.

Professionally packed with oxygen and insulation for transportation. Photos are representative; natural differences in coloration and markings may occur.

You will receive 1 healthy Albino Sailfin Pleco approximately 2–2.5 inches.
