Blue Eyed Lemon Pleco

The Blue Eyed Lemon Pleco gets its name from its bright blue eyes and pale yellow body with fuzzy bristles on its nose. These plecos stay small, growing to about 4-5 inches at the max, and they're most active at night.

We feed our Bristlenose Plecos a large variety of foods, including finely ground Northfin flake foods, small Northfin pellets (veggie, community, and bug pro), frozen foods, live baby brine shrimp, and occasionally blackworms. We hold all of our plecos for at least 14 days under expert care, then when they're ready for their new home, we pack them in breather bags to prevent sloshing, in boxes lined with recycled insulation, and ship all of our fish overnight with a 100% live arrival guarantee.

Please Note: All fish shipments have a 100% Live Arrival Guarantee when shipping with Overnight (1 Day) option. All other options void our Live Arrival Guarantee for fish.
