The leopard sailfin pleco, Pterygoplichthys gibbiceps, is a visually captivating freshwater catfish known for its dark body adorned with intricate yellow or gold leopard-like spots and a large, sail-like dorsal fin. Native to South America, this pleco can grow up to 18 inches, making it suitable only for spacious aquariums of 100 gallons or more. Leopard sailfin plecos are effective algae-eaters and generally peaceful, though they may be territorial with other bottom-dwellers. They prefer temperatures of 73-86°F and a pH range of 6.5-7.5. Their diet consists of algae, sinking pellets, and fresh vegetables, making them both functional and decorative in large aquariums.
