Genus Peckoltia, Clown Plecostomus:
These small (3-5 inches) Loricariids are not as
hardy in shipping or acclimation to captive conditions, but are
sturdy enough if/when brought in well, and once they settle
in'¦ and they almost always leave live plants alone.
Also of note, though they are often pictured and housed together
in captivity, Peckoltia species are best kept either one to a
tank (even if a large system), or pairs. They're easygoing
with other bottom dwellers but very aggressive toward
conspecifics.
