{"product_id":"sailfin-plecostomus","title":"Sailfin Plecostomus","description":"The \u003cstrong\u003eSailfin Pleco\u003c\/strong\u003e comes from the rivers and tributaries of South America. The body is different shades of brown with a pattern of lighter markings covering it. This species receives its name from its large dorsal fin. Sailfin Plecos make good additions to any community aquarium.\n\u003cp\u003e\nThe \u003cstrong\u003eSailfin Plecostomus, Marble Albino\u003c\/strong\u003e, is a captive-bred species known by many scientific names, the most common being \u003cem\u003eGlyptoperichthys gibbiceps\u003c\/em\u003e. The Albino Marble Sailfin Pleco is also known as the Spotted Sailfin Plecostomus. Originating from the Rio Pacaya in Peru, South America, the Albino Marble Sailfin Plecostomus is a peaceful, bottom-dwelling member of the armour-plated catfish group.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\nPlanted aquariums with hearty, fast-growing plants, high aeration, and water movement make for a healthy environment. Rocks and driftwood help to accent a natural habitat and provide hiding spaces to reduce stress for the Sailfin Plecostomus. A recommended minimum tank of 125 gallons should be provided to house this fish.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\nThe Sailfin Plecostomus spawns in tunnels dug out of the mud banks of various tributaries. A very large aquarium with a wall of mud is required for this species to spawn. Because of this requirement, it has not yet been done in an aquarium.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\nFeeding the Sailfin Plecostomus is not difficult due to the fact that it is not a picky eater. Feeding off the bottom of the aquarium, it gets most of its nutrition from left over food and algae. If there is no algae or left over food present, supplement with high quality flake food, sinking carnivore pellets, freeze-dried bloodworms, and tubifex.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApproximate Purchase Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sailfin Pleco: 2\" to 5\"; Marble Sailfin Pleco, Albino: Small 2\" to 3\"; Medium 3\" to 5\"; Large: 5\" to 8\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LiveAquaria","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48347186397427,"sku":null,"price":37.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0794\/9497\/1635\/files\/lg_Sailfin_Pleco_L83_89871_509462d2-8906-4c0b-be02-919fda6d31ef.jpg?v=1767908837","url":"https:\/\/www.liveaquaria.com\/products\/sailfin-plecostomus","provider":"LiveAquaria","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
