L173 ZEBRA PLECO (Hypancistrus zebra)
The first pectoral fin ray of the male is somewhat thicker than that of the female. Males in breeding conditions further develop their spine-like ''odontodes'' on this ray. The male has a slightly broader head than the female, best observed from above.
Unlike the popular opinion of many other loricariids, Hypancistrus species are more carnivores than algae eaters. This is backed up by a small and lightly toothed mouth that indicates it is a poor algae eater. Provide mainly meaty foods such as bloodworm and even brine shrimp.
L-075 Rio de Para Pleco
3″ King Tiger Pleco (L-066)
This is a beautiful variety of what are called ‘Fancy Pleco-s’. It originates from whitewater sections of the Rio Xingu near the town of Belo Monte (Brazil). Their max size and peaceful nature make them a popular addition to peaceful-community aquariums. Good (oxygen-rich) waterflow and driftwood are a must, while a pebbly substrate and rocky hiding places are highly recommended (to recreate the bottom of a flowing river). King Tigers are considered peaceful community fish, but like most fancy plecos, they can be territorial and aggressive towards conspecifics & other bottom dwellers. Avoid mixing with other pleco-s unless the tank is big enough to establish separate territories (at least 1.5 square feet per pleco, with decorations as dividers). It is more of a carnivore than a herbivore, so be sure to feed a mix of meaty and veggie-based foods; it is a nocturnal feeder, so feed as late as you can.
L-200 Green Phantom Pleco
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
