Peckoltia lineola (L202) is a small, attractive pleco species known for its bold black-and-cream striped pattern that runs along a compact, streamlined body. Growing to about 10–12 cm (4–5 inches), it is well-suited for smaller to medium aquariums and prefers well-oxygenated water with plenty of driftwood and hiding spaces.
This peaceful, nocturnal species spends much of its time grazing on biofilm and algae, while also benefiting from sinking protein-rich foods. Its strong contrast pattern and manageable size make it a popular choice among dwarf pleco enthusiasts.
