L-046 True Zebra Pleco
The L-46 Zebra Pleco was once very common in the aquarium trade but after much of its native habitat was destroyed by dams in Brazil importation of wild L-46 plecos into the United States is illegal. It is legal to import wild L-46 plecos into all other countries, however.
The black and white contrast is what makes this pleco so remarkable. The L-46 zebra pleco is nocturnal and will try to hide during the day. AquariumFishSale sells legal captive-bred specimens. These are generally small and grow slowly. These fish require absolute clean water, so please know what you are doing before you make a purchase. People have been known to buy one, put it in the aquarium, and never see it again. Lost in the filter?
