Description
Remarks: The L476 Black Phantom Pleco is fairly new to the hobby and rare so very little is known about it. Their bodies are a black color and mottled in spots that are white to yellow in coloration. Something that sets them apart from the other phantom plecos outside of their dark color is that they prefer more protein heavy foods instead of a more herbivorous diet.
