🟠 Spotted Orange Seam Pleco (Peckoltia sp., L106)
Spotted • Orange Seam • Omnivore
 
📋 The Spotted Orange Seam Pleco (Peckoltia sp., L106) is a medium-sized pleco known for its dark brown to black body decorated with irregular pale spots. Its most distinctive feature is the bright orange edging along its dorsal and caudal fins, giving this pleco its common name.
Reaching around 12–13 cm (4.5–5"), this is a manageable-sized pleco well-suited to community aquariums. It is a bottom dweller that enjoys caves, driftwood, and shaded hiding areas. Like many Peckoltia, it is generally peaceful, though slightly territorial with its own kind if space is limited.
An omnivorous feeder, it will graze on algae but also accepts sinking prepared foods and blanched vegetables. This mix makes the Spotted Orange Seam Pleco both an attractive display fish and a useful algae grazer, prized by collectors for its unique fin seams and spotted pattern.
