Clown plecos are a popular freshwater fish that can be found in aquariums all over the world. In fact, it seems like they might be getting even more sought after in recent years! Clown pleco care is something that any dedicated aquarist can manage as long as they’re aware of the proper conditions the fish needs. This makes them a relatively low-maintenance fish to keep, which is something a lot of people love. They’re also a neat-looking fish that can spruce up the bottom of your tank. Even if you’re someone who doesn’t get too into aesthetics when it comes to fish, you’ll probably enjoy them! And lastly, their behavior is something that any aquarist can appreciate. Not only are they fun to watch move around the bottom and nibble on driftwood (more on that below), but they get along well with a lot of other species.
