Summary of Peckoltia
Pronounced	peck OLE tea ah
Etymology	Peckoltia: named after Gustavo Peckolt, member of the Natural History Commission of Rondon.
Tankmates	A medium sized pleco that can be combined with a very wide array of tankmates due to its unfussy nature. Perfectly safe with small fishes and shrimp or robust enough to withstand the attention of all but the largest cichlids.
Furniture	Rock piles and wood tangles. Plants are not vital.
Sexing	Males develop small teeth-like odontodes which adorn the leading pectoral fin rays and the back half of the fishes body. Females remain unadorned and have a wider girth across the body most evident when the area just behind the pectoral fins is viewed from above.
