Be prepared for a very long video discussing the evolution, biology and phylogenetics of pleco, plecostomus, L numbers, whiptails or more correctly referred to as Loricariidae of which are in the order Siluriforme catfishes. Many of these we find within the aquarium hobby and with 1,040 species ranging from monster to miniature there is soo much variation.
Thank you for watching!
