Remarks: L097 Polka Dot Cactus Plecos (Pseudacanthicus sp.) are large, aggressive plecos that should be housed with similarly-aggressive fish. This genus of fish earns the nickname "Cactus Plecos" because of the tiny odontodes on their sides, making them very "pokey." This species is black with many small, white dots covering the body and fins. They are very territorial and should be given plenty of caves to choose as their own.
