Unlike the widely-seen Common Pleco (<em>Hypostomus plecostomus<\/em>) and Trinidad Pleco (<em>Hypostomus punctatus<\/em>), which easily reach a monstrous size of 18 to 20+ inches (45 to 51+ cm), the King Tiger Pleco grows to a size of only 5.5 to 6.3 inches (8.9 to 10.7 cm). \u00a0This smaller size makes for a much more manageable (and less messy) pleco that can thrive permanently in a well-maintained aquarium as small as 40 gallons.\u00a0 Male plecos may be somewhat territorial with other males of their species, but disputes can usually be diffused by providing ample territory and hiding places for each fish.\u00a0 All other fish tankmates will be generally ignored, although it is likely that dwarf shrimp will fall prey to the King Tiger Pleco. \u00a0However, ornamental snails will not be bothered and large Amano, Green Lace, Flower, and Vampire Shrimp are generally unthreatened by the King Tiger Pleco.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"woocommerce-product-details__short-description\">\n<p>For Optimum Shipping Efficiency Please Remember:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A maximum of 8 Live Pets per large insulated box<\/li>\n<li>Always choose FedEx Priority Overnight for Live Pets (Arrive live Guarantee only applies to this shipping method)<\/li>\n<li>If you have a mixture of Live Pets and Dry Goods, Please choose Priority Overnight and We will adjust the cost of the Dry goods Standard Shipping.<\/li>\n<li>If you have any questions please call us at 226-257-8440 or email: sales@strictlyfish.ca<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":4754,"template":"","meta":{"jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[83],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-4753","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-plecos","7":"product_shipping_class-express-delivery","9":"first","10":"outofstock","11":"taxable","12":"shipping-taxable","13":"purchasable","14":"product-type-simple"},"supplier_id":null,"supplier_sku":"","barcode":null,"atum_controlled":true,"out_stock_date":"2026-03-22 21:41:52","out_stock_threshold":null,"inheritable":false,"inbound_stock":null,"stock_on_hold":0,"sold_today":0,"sales_last_days":0,"reserved_stock":null,"customer_returns":null,"warehouse_damage":null,"lost_in_post":null,"other_logs":null,"out_stock_days":15,"lost_sales":0,"has_location":false,"update_date":"2026-04-07T00:25:58","atum_locations":[],"atum_stock_status":"outofstock","restock_status":false,"low_stock_amount":"","sales_update_date":"2026-04-07T00:25:58","calc_backorders":null,"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.strictlyfish.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/product\/4753","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.strictlyfish.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.strictlyfish.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.strictlyfish.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/4754"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.strictlyfish.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4753"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.strictlyfish.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fproduct_brand&post=4753"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.strictlyfish.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fproduct_cat&post=4753"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.strictlyfish.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fproduct_tag&post=4753"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
