Articulated Pleco Fish | Pre-Painted + Optional 6mm Glass Eye Version
🐟 Pleco — a bold, armored bottom-dweller brought to life as a fully articulated flexy design. This model captures the distinctive shape of a plecostomus, from its sucker mouth and ridged body plates to its dramatic dorsal fin and powerful tail.
The segmented design allows for smooth head-to-tail articulation, letting the pleco curve naturally. Each section flexes cleanly while maintaining strong texture detail, giving it that rugged, plated look plecos are known for.
It also features a detailed sculpted mouth underneath, just like a real pleco — check under the head to see the suction-style mouth detail.

Yes i have some ideas for more of them :)
You should do some sport fish like musk, pike, walleye and bass
I love this design! It looks like the eye sheet didn't get added to the eye sheet pack, can you please add it or clarify if I should use a different eye sheet?
I went ahead and added the missing Pleco sheet. I'm also looking into maybe making a new pack as this one is getting crowded.
