⚪ Albino Adonis Pleco (3–4”) – Rare White-Armored Giant in the Making

Add one of the rarest and most striking plecos in the aquarium trade to your grow-out lineup with the Albino Adonis Pleco (Acanthicus adonis – Albino variant). At 3–4 inches, this juvenile displays creamy white to pale gold coloring, armored plating, and the beginnings of the highly recognizable long trailing spines that will define it as it matures.

This is not your average algae eater—Albino Adonis Plecos are tank-dominating armored giants capable of growing over 30 inches long. Their bold appearance, territorial behavior, and incredible rarity make them a prized species among serious pleco collectors and monster fish hobbyists.


🐟 Species Profile:

  • Scientific Name: Acanthicus adonis (Albino Morph)

  • Common Name: Albino Adonis Pleco, Giant Albino Pleco

  • Size: 3–4 inches (can grow to 30–36 inches+)

  • Temperament: Territorial, aggressive toward other bottom dwellers

  • Tank Size: 300+ gallons recommended long-term

  • Water Parameters: 76–82°F | pH 6.5–7.5 | High oxygenation and flow

  • Diet: Omnivore – prefers carnivore pellets, shrimp, fish meat, and occasional veggie matter


⚔️ Behavior & Care Notes:

The Albino Adonis is a powerful bottom-dweller that thrives in:

  • Heavily filtered, high-flow setups

  • Minimal décor with plenty of floor space

  • Sturdy driftwood or smooth rocks for resting and scraping

Best housed alone or with large, upper-level predators such as:

  • Peacock Bass, Arowanas, Datnoids, or Giant Gouramis

  • Avoid other plecos or bottom dwellers—Adonis Plecos are known to be highly territorial

As it matures, this fish develops long pectoral fin streamers and a broad, spiked tail, making it a true aquarium showpiece for monster fish tanks or custom displays.
