L-134 LEOPARD FROG PLECO

🐸 L-134 Leopard Frog Pleco (Peckoltia compta) – Compact Beauty with Jungle-Camo Stripes

The L-134 Leopard Frog Pleco is a striking, small-bodied pleco admired for its bold black-and-yellow striping, compact size, and peaceful nature—making it one of the best choices for community tanks, planted aquariums, or nano South American setups.

Native to the Rio Tapajós in Brazil, this species gets its name from the frog-like spotting pattern on its fins and body, which becomes more vivid as it matures. Unlike many larger plecos, the Leopard Frog stays under 4.5 inches, making it ideal for aquarists who want all the exotic flair of a wild-caught pleco in a tank-friendly package.
