About the Cover

The majestic fish on our cover this month is one of the aptly named royal plecos, specifically the Peruvian green royal pleco Panaque titan, also known as L418. The genus Panaque contains some of the most beautiful and sought-after pleco species, and while they are not for an average community aquarium, many people are willing to set up a 6-foot or larger tank to be able to keep these large, regal, wood-eating catfish. Read Mark Denaro’s “Royal Plecos” (p. 66) to learn all about these fish and their requirements.
