In this part of the video, the presenter discusses their top five plecos in the fish room.

1. At number five, the presenter introduces the L239 pleco, a vegetarian algae grazer that requires supplementation of algae wafers and vegetables such as sweet potatoes and courgettes. They have a vibrant cobalt blue coloration and high oxygen requirements.

2. Following, the Panaque maccus, or clown pleco, is ranked at number four.
