A unique, heavily armored pleco from the Xingu river basin in Brazil, the L332 Green Chubby Pleco or Olive Armor Pleco (Parancistrus sp. L332) 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. They are a hardy and undemanding pleco in the aquarium but should be offered plenty of cover 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.

A unique suckermouth catfish that truly lives up to its common name, the Stick Catfish or Common Farlowella is an algae and biofilm grazing species found throughout much of South America. In the wild, their twig-like appearance is effective camouflage against predators and allows them to graze on sunken tree branches and driftwood. In the aquarium, they are usually active and outgoing algae grazers that do a great job with diatoms and hair algae both on the glass and on decor. Safe for planted aquaria, they are compatible with nearly any tankmates. When kept in optimal conditions, this species will spawn readily in the aquarium, often on the glass or other vertical flat surfaces.

A large growing species of Cory, the Concolor or Slate Cory is found in softwater streams throughout the Orinoco and its tributaries in Colombia and Venezuela. The newly discovered CW217 Rio Tomo Cory variant (Hoplisoma concolor Rio Tomo CW217) is remarkable with their bicolor variation. Like most Cory catfish, they are peaceful, hardy, and best kept in groups due to their schooling nature. Because of their larger adult size, Concolor Corys make for great bottom feeders or dithers in aquariums with medium South or Central American Cichlids or other predatory fish which aren’t large enough to try to make a meal of them.

One of the most popular aquarium algae eaters (and for good reason), the Amazon Otocinclus, Oto, or Oto Catfish is a small, schooling suckermouth cat found throughout much of South America. There are several species of Otocinclus commonly imported for the aquarium trade, but of these the larger, more robust species found in the Central Amazon (O. cf. macrospilus) is probably the hardiest and best choice for most aquariums. Safe for all planted tanks and compatible with any peaceful tankmates, the Amazon Otocinclus will feed readily on diatom and other forms of nuisance algae in the aquarium but should be supplemented regularly with sinking veggie-based foods, gel diet, and fresh vegetables like zucchini or romaine lettuce. A social species often found in huge aggregations, all Otocinclus species should be kept in groups of at least 5 but preferably 10 or more fish if space allows.

One of the most active and attractively marked of the Pygmy Cory species, the Tail Spot or Black Diamond Pygmy Cory is found only in the Rio Guapore basin in Southern Brazil, where they occur in huge shoals of hundreds or even thousands of individuals. Unlike most Corydoras, they tend to swim in the middle of the water column instead of being strict bottom dwellers, and a large school makes for an impressive display in a planted or aquascaped aquarium. A hardy and peaceful fish, they should be kept in groups of at least 10 and will do well with similarly peaceful tankmates.

A vibrantly colored and distinctly marked variant of Royal Pleco, the Goldline Royal originates from the waters of the Rio Araguaia in Brazil. Its common name comes from their striking, high contrast pattern of black stripes against a vivid yellow-gold body coloration. Like all species of Panaque, they have specialized teeth and are adapted to eat and even digest wood, although the Woodgrain Royal Pleco also feeds on submerged vegetation and invertebrates. Conditions in the aquarium should be as close to their wild habitat as possible, with moderate to strong current, warm temperatures, and excellent water quality. Due to their specialized diet, we recommend providing driftwood for grazing and feeding a specialty diet like Repashy Morning Wood.

One of the most attractively patterned and sought after members of its genus, the Leopard Frog or Imperial Tiger Pleco is found in the clear waters of the Rio Tapajos and its tributary the Rio Jamanxim in Brazil. Both of these rivers are fairly fast moving but these fish are often found in shallow, more still water areas usually in and around crevices in rocks. An omnivore and grazer, these fish do best when offered a protein rich diet like Repahsy insectivore gel diet or other high quality sinking foods. This species is a cave spawner and will breed in the aquarium if given the proper conditions.

The bizarrely shaped Chaca Chaca or Indian Frogmouth Catfish is a unique species of bottom dwelling catfish and a classic ambush predator, closely mimicking the appearance of a dead leaf and lying in wait for prey to swim too close to its cavernous mouth. Generally found in shallow, blackwater habitats in Northeastern India, Nepal, and Bangladesh, their diet is primarily made up of smaller fish and insect larvae. It can be distinguished from the other members of the genus by its overall lighter coloration and collection point (other species are found exclusively in Southeast Asia). In the aquarium, they are hardly an active species but make for a unique addition to any predator tank. They should be provided a fine sand substrate and ideally some leaf litter or other cover to ensure they can exhibit their natural burying behavior to lie in wait for prey. While live foods are preferred, most specimens will accept frozen food such as bloodworms or mysis shrimp.

The Black Tail Bar Hoplo Catfish is a species of heavily armored catfish found throughout much of the Amazon, where it is found in a wide variety of habitat types. Like their more well known relative, the Spotted Hoplo (M. thoracata) and are especially hardy due to their ability to breathe atmospheric air when dissolved oxygen levels are low. In the aquarium, they will thrive in a wide variety of conditions and make excellent tankmates for most medium to large sized fish.
