Super Red Longfin Pleco

Super Red Longfin Pleco (Ancistrus sp. cf. cirrhosus)

A selectively bred, long-finned variant of the popular Bristlenose Pleco, the Super Red Longfin is prized for its deep red-orange colouration and flowing fins. A hardy and peaceful algae-eater, it's an excellent addition to community aquariums and helps keep glass and décor free of algae.
