L027 Royal Pleco Aquarium Heaters The underside is pale yellowPanaque sp, potentially P. nigrolineatus. Royal plecos are beautiful xylivorous (wood eating) catfish that reach about 16" long. Besides their large size, care is the same as most other plecos: driftwood is a must as it is a required foodsource and fibre for them, otherwise they relish most veggie based foods such as zucchini, peas, sinking algae wafers, etc. A little protein, such as from frozen foods or sinking carnivore pellets, is appreciated
