A lot of fish keepers design their whole tank around exotic Plecos. I've kept, Gold Nugget, and Dull Eye Royal Plecos, also pretty Plecos, that remain relatively small. Both varieties are wood eaters. I don't know much about the Candy Stripes.
They are omnivores but prefer meat, not effective algae eater. I think they like driftwood. Anyway Its L015 if you want to check it out. Its a manmade pleco cant get them naturally.
