Blue Eyed Pleco

Blue Eyed Pleco

One of the rarest and interesting plecos in the trade, the blue-eye pleco was almost made extinct by a chemical spill on the Rio Magdalena, fortunately a few survived and as they make a come back we will begin to see a few more available to the trade. These are expensive but very hardy catfish. Blue-eye plecos, or blue-eye suttoni, require driftwood and veggies in their diet.
