Sucker Catfish (Albino) UAE | Pleco Dubai

Sucker Catfish, also known as Plecos or Plecostomus, are bottom-dwelling fish that spend most of their time grazing on algae and leftover food. They are hardy fish and suitable for beginner aquarium hobbyists, especially for tanks that have algae growth.

Sucker Catfish require driftwood in the aquarium, as they graze on biofilm and need wood for digestion.

Although Sucker Catfish eat algae, they should also be fed:

• Algae wafers
• Sinking pellets
• Zucchini
• Cucumber
• Spinach
• Bottom feeder tablets

Do not rely only on algae in the tank for feeding.
