L027 Goldline Araguaia Royal Pleco (Panaque armbrusteri)
Price range: $449.99 through $499.99
A vibrantly colored and distinctly marked variant of Royal Pleco, the Goldline Royal originates from the waters of the Rio Araguaia in Brazil. Its common name comes from their striking, high contrast pattern of black stripes against a vivid yellow-gold body coloration. Like all species of Panaque, they have specialized teeth and are adapted to eat and even digest wood, although the Woodgrain Royal Pleco also feeds on submerged vegetation and invertebrates. Conditions in the aquarium should be as close to their wild habitat as possible, with moderate to strong current, warm temperatures, and excellent water quality. Due to their specialized diet, we recommend providing driftwood for grazing and feeding a specialty diet like Repashy Morning Wood.
