Expert Answer

A plecostomus can live 2 to 6 years, with lifespan varying by environment; for a longer life provide a good one. It likes slightly acidic hard water with a best temperature of 22 to 28 C. Sudden water changes cause discomfort, so keep temperature stable and use a heater when it drops.
