About LG Pleco

At LG Pleco, we don’t just sell fish — we cultivate a passion. From the smallest shrimp to the most majestic Plecos, our mission is to provide hobbyists with healthy, ethically bred, and well-cared-for aquatic species. Every fish in our collection reflects years of dedication, knowledge, and hands-on experience in breeding and caring for tropical fish.

Our Journey

LG Pleco began as a small, home-based hobby driven by curiosity and a love for Plecos. What started with a few tanks quickly grew into a fully-fledged local breeding operation. Today, we are proud to be one of the leading local breeders of L-number Plecos, along with a variety of tropical fish species and specialty invertebrates.

Unlike mass-imported stock, our fish are bred and raised locally in the UK, giving them a distinct advantage in adapting to home aquariums. Local breeding means less transport stress, healthier fish, and a more ethical supply chain — values we hold at the heart of LG Pleco.

Our Breeding Philosophy

At LG Pleco, we believe that healthy fish start with responsible breeding practices. Each species is raised in carefully monitored tanks that replicate natural environments, ensuring optimal water parameters, temperature stability, and enrichment. Our breeding philosophy focuses on:


  • Genetic Diversity: Maintaining strong, healthy lineages to prevent inbreeding and promote vitality.

  • Premium Nutrition: Feeding a variety of high-quality diets, including algae, spirulina, and protein-rich foods, to encourage vibrant coloration, robust growth, and longevity.

  • Water Quality & Health: Employing strict filtration, regular testing, and quarantine protocols to minimize disease and maximize fish welfare.

  • Ethical & Sustainable Practices: Ensuring every breeding cycle respects both animal welfare and environmental sustainability.

Our dedication ensures that each Pleco or tropical fish we sell is fully acclimated, resilient, and ready for your aquarium.

Species We Specialize In

LG Pleco is renowned for breeding rare and popular L-number Plecos, but our expertise extends to a wide variety of aquatic life:


  • L-number Plecos: Unique, high-quality specimens carefully bred for health and beauty.

  • Community Fish: Compatible species suitable for diverse aquarium setups.

  • Shrimp & Invertebrates: High-quality, healthy stock to complement aquariums.

  • Specialty Foods: Spirulina wafers, protein granules, and algae-based feeds formulated for optimal nutrition.

Education and Customer Support

We believe that knowledge is as important as the fish themselves. At LG Pleco, we’re committed to supporting hobbyists at every experience level, from beginners setting up their first tank to experienced aquarists seeking rare species.

Our guidance includes:


  • Setup advice: Tank size, filtration, and aquascaping recommendations.

  • Nutrition: Detailed feeding schedules and optimal diet plans.

  • Care and maintenance: Water quality monitoring, breeding tips, and disease prevention.

We see every customer interaction as an opportunity to share our passion and ensure your aquarium thrives.
