When kept in good conditions they are peaceful animals with other fish, but adult males can be aggressive among conspecifics.<\/p><p>Use an aquarium of at least 300 liters for just one individual. If you want to keep a group, try to keep only one male, and add 100 liters for each fish. These plecos grow very fast and have active behavior, which makes them demand a lot of space.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ee87700 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"ee87700\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Royal pleco<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-240d4b3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"240d4b3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/keepingcatfish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/royal-pleco.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-11302\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/keepingcatfish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/royal-pleco.png 800w, https:\/\/keepingcatfish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/royal-pleco-300x188.png 300w, https:\/\/keepingcatfish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/royal-pleco-768x480.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-46d30a3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"46d30a3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The royal pleco (Panaque nigrolineatus) is a very sought-after fish among aquarists who keep large aquariums and among pleco aficionados.
