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
(L-114) Flametail Gibbiceps Pleco 3″
This fish originates from Rio Gemini (Brazil) which drains into Rio Negro. The tomato red coloration on the dorsal and caudal fins is the reason behind its popularity. It is a beautiful variety of what are called ‘Fancy Pleco-s’. Because of its max size, a larger aquarium is a must. This is a purely carnivorous pleco that produces quite a bit of waste; good filtration is definitely required. 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.
LONGFIN ALBINO BRISTLENOSE PLECO (ANCISTRUS CF. “LONGFIN ALBINO”)
The Longfin Albino Bristlenose Pleco (Ancistrus cf. cirrhosis), also known as the Albino Bushynose or Bushymouth Pleco, is a member of the Loricariidae family of South American suckermouth catfishes. While many suckermouth catfish species have yet to be bred on any major scale in aquariums, the Longfin Bristlenose Pleco is one of the most easily- and often-bred “pleco” species in the aquarium hobby and many popular color morphs, such as this variety, have been developed. This fish is immediately distinguishable by its highly variable pink and yellow marbled pattern as well as the growth of many bristle-like appendages on its facial area beginning in sub-adulthood. Both sexes grow the appendages, but the growth and length is much more pronounced in males.
L-007 Galaxy Vampire Pleco
8″ HYPOSTOMUS LUTEUS (PHASE II) “Rio Uraguay
Hypostomus luteus is a quite spectacular and unusual Pleco. Only in recent years has it become a new sensation in the aquarium hobby, and it's among the most expensive Plecos on the market. It hails from the border region between Brazil and Argentina, which means it should not be kept in too warm water (18-24 C). One of the extraordinary traits of Hypostomus luteus is how it changes its appearance from juvenile to adult; young specimens are dark grey/black with small golden spots and a yellow caudal fin. As they age, they gradually transform into all golden/orange adults. If the temperature requirements are met and enough space and food are given, Hypostomus luteus is a hardy and easy to keep Pleco. It's currently not allowed for export from Brazil, so most individuals are exported from Argentina and Uruguay.
