L024 ‘Super Red’ Redfin Cactus Pleco (Pseudacanthicus pitanga ‘super red’)
The L024 or Redfin Cactus Pleco is a colorful and sought-after species of heavily armored pleco originating in the Rio Tocantins in Brazil. Like most members of its genus, it is largely a carnivore and prefers protein-rich foods. The “Super Red” variant displays intense, vivid reds in the dorsal and pectoral finds and is found only in the waters surrounding the town of Tucurui. In the aquarium, the Redfin Cactus Pleco should be offered ample cover and care should be taken with other bottom-dwelling species as they can be territorial. With their large adult size and space requirements, Redfin Cactus Plecos are recommended for experienced hobbyists with large aquariums and heavy filtration.

L056 Yellow Black Chubby Pleco (Parancistrus aurantiacus) 5″
A unique, heavily armored pleco from the Tocantins river basin in Eastern Brazil, the Rubber or Chubby Pleco gets its name from its unusually wide, flattened body shape. In the wild, they are found in areas of moderate to fast water movement and typically live in rocky areas. The species is normally a grey color in nature but certain rare and very sought-after specimens show a striking all-yellow or partially yellow and black coloration. They are a hardy and undemanding pleco in the aquarium but should be offered plenty of covers and excellent water quality should be maintained through frequent large water changes. An omnivore, they will accept most sinking foods and fresh veggies but be sure to offer some protein-rich options like Repashy gel diet or Fluval Bug Bites Pleco Formula regularly.

L-187A Spotted Rubberlip Pleco
12″ Scarlet Cactus Pleco (L-025)
This is a beautiful variety of what are called ‘Fancy Pleco-s’; it originates from Rio Xingu in Brazil. Because of its maximum size, a large setup with powerful filtration is required, as is proper maintenance of water quality.
It is more carnivorous than it is herbivorous, so be sure to feed a mix of foods. It is a nocturnal feeder, so feed as late as you can. Highly oxygenated water is a must; good water flow and driftwood are highly recommended, as are rocky hiding places. Avoid mixing with other pleco-s as fights over territory would be inevitable. As it gets larger it produces quite a bit of waste, so a robust filtration system cannot be overstressed
L397 ALENQUER TIGER PLECO (Panaqolus sp.)
In recent times, L397 has become increasingly popular in the hobby. This is certainly due to the very striking coloration of juveniles. It's actually a very rare species in the hobby, but due to some successful breeders like Cristoffer Forssander in Sweden, significant numbers of L397 are now on the market. It's a hardy and easy-to-maintain species as long as the wood is provided for their diet
