Flash Pleco (L204).
The Flash Pleco (L204) is a small, dark-bodied plecostomus marked with fine glowing yellow-cream stripes that run the length of its body. It is a shy, cave-dwelling species that spends the day tucked under wood and forages after dark. A hardy, manageable pleco for planted and community tanks.

Live animals are sold in store only — we do not ship fish, coral, or invertebrates. Every animal is acclimated and health-checked in-house before it reaches the sales floor. This is a species we carry — it's most likely in the tanks around delivery days, but live stock changes daily. Please call (814) 456-9445 to confirm availability before you drive in.

Good tank mates
A peaceful bottom-dweller that coexists well with most community fish and other calm plecos, given enough hiding spots to claim its own cave.
Good to know
As a wood-eating pleco, it uses its rasping mouth to graze driftwood, which forms a genuine part of its natural diet.
Stock and individual temperament vary — call (814) 456-9445 for pairing advice before you buy.
