🎯 Magnum Pleco (Baryancistrus chrysolomus, L047)
Striped • Large Pleco • Omnivore
 
📋 The Magnum Pleco (Baryancistrus chrysolomus, L047) is a large and visually striking pleco recognized for its dark charcoal body contrasted by vivid yellow-orange fin edges and markings. Its bold appearance has earned it the name “Magnum,” highlighting its dramatic and powerful look.
Reaching 30–33 cm (12–13"), this is a large pleco requiring a spacious aquarium with strong filtration and ample décor. It is generally peaceful with community fish, but territorial toward other plecos, especially those of similar size.
An omnivore with a need for wood fiber, the Magnum Pleco feeds on algae, sinking prepared foods, vegetables, and occasional protein. Its brilliant yellow fin seams, impressive adult size, and longevity make it a collector’s centerpiece pleco.
