L066 Plecos 3cm

One of several strikingly marked black and white species of Hypancistrus from the Rio Xingu in Brazil, the L066 King Tiger Pleco inhabits rocky areas of warm, fast-moving water. In the aquarium, they need excellent water quality and do best when provided lots of cover in the form of caves or driftwood. A carnivore, they should be fed protein rich foods like frozen bloodworms, carnivore pellets, or gel diets. Like most plecos from the region, they will do best at warmer temperatures (80-85F) and plenty of current.
