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.

Description

L024 ‘Super Red’ Redfin Cactus Pleco (Pseudacanthicus pitanga ‘super red’)

L24 is one of the more expensive and sought-after Cactus Plecos. It’s allowed for export from Brazil, and is collected in significant numbers for the trade. Still the price is high, mostly due to the extreme habitat (depth and current) where they are collected, and of course due to the market’s willingness to pay a high price for them. Not so strange really, given their very appealing looks!
