Janitor Fish Research

Janitor fish (Hypostomus plecostomus) are big freshwater creatures that are native to South American nations such as Brazil and Peru. The family Loricariidae fish often thrive out in nature, but are also frequently seen living in aquariums. Janitor fish are known by a handful of other monikers, from suckermouth catfish to common pleco.

Size-wise, janitor fish generally achieve lengths of between 18 inches and 2 feet. Janitor fish in nature tend toward the larger sizes, while captive specimens are usually a little smaller. Janitor fish have specked physiques that are simultaneously sturdy and short. Their overall coloration is deep brown. Other notable physical characteristics of janitor fish are their sizable heads, tiny eyes and mouths that are reminiscent of suction cups. Male and female specimens are indistinguishable physically.
