The L075 Para Pleco or Leopard Pleco is a beautifully patterned pleco found in fast-flowing, rocky waters throughout the Orinoco and Amazon basins. As a medium growing and colorful pleco, it is a good addition for a medium to large aquarium and is generally peaceful towards tankmates. The L075 will usually coexist with other plecos as long as ample hiding places and cover is provided. An omnivore, they should be fed a varied diet of both algae/vegetable based and protein-rich foods.

This rare, large-growing Loricariid originates from the Caqueta basin in Colombia and its trubtaries in Northern Ecuador, although a similar looking species is imported from Peru and often misidentified as P. apithanos. The Chameleon Loricaria is typically found in shallow, fast-moving stretches of river, often in groups. In the aquarium, they prefer moderate to high water movement and large open areas of sand substrate. In the wild, they graze on biofilm, algae, small crustaceans and insect larvae and should be fed a varied diet with plenty of proteins such as Repashy Bottom Scratcher or Igapo Explorer gel diet or Fluval Bug Bites pleco formula. They can be territorial with each other so provide plenty of space for each individual fish.

The L200 Green Phantom Pleco is a beautifully marked Loricariid found in fast-moving, rocky areas of the Orinoco and Ventuari Rivers in Colombia and Venezuela. With their light green body coloration and distinctive yellow spots, this pleco makes a colorful and unique addition to most medium to large aquariums. An omnivore, they will graze on algae but will also require a varied diet of sinking prepared foods, gel foods, and fresh vegetables like zucchini and squash. In the aquarium, they will do best in moderately soft, warm, well-oxygenated water with plenty of hiding places and moderate to strong current. This species requires excellent water quality to thrive so large frequent water changes should be considered necessary.

This species will do best at high temperatures (82 – 86F), lots of water movement and a variety of rocks and caves in which to establish territories. This species can be a challenge to maintain long term and is best suited for experienced hobbyists who can ensure optimal water quality similar to what they would find in nature and a varied diet.

The L128 Blue Phantom Pleco is a beautifully marked medium growing species of Pleco found in the warm, fast-flowing, rocky waters of the Orinoco River in Colombia and Venezuela.

An omnivore in the wild, they will graze on algae and biofilm but should be provided a varied diet including protein-rich sinking pellets and Repashy Gel Diet. Like most of their relatives in the genus Hemiancistrus, the Blue Phantom Pleco is sensitive to poor water quality so be sure to perform frequent large water changes. They will do best when provided with plenty of hiding places, warm, slightly acidic water, and moderate to strong current.

A smaller growing spotted species of Hypancistrus known from the Rio Negro and its tributaries, the L136 Demini Angelicus Pleco (Hypancistrus sp. L136) is an ideal pleco for the small to medium community aquarium. Although normally shy at first, they will become more comfortable spending time out in the open over time and especially when food is added to the tank. Like most of their close relatives in the genus Hypancistrus, the L136 is not a particularly good algae eater and prefers a more protein rich diet than some plecos. Peaceful toward nearly all tankmates, they can be territorial towards other plecos but will typically coexist without problems long as plenty of cover is provided in the aquarium.

A beautiful and sought after member of the genus Ancistrus found in Brazil’s Rio Negro, the L182 Starlight or L182 Starry Night Bristlenose Pleco (Ancistrus punctatus) inhabits warm, acidic, tannin-stained waters where it is typically found grazing on submerged driftwood or fallen branches. In the aquarium, they are hardy and adaptable but should be provided with plenty of cover and driftwood for grazing on. Like all Bristlenose or Bushynose plecos in the genus, both males and females display bristles or tentacles along the nose as adults, with mature males having much more elaborate growth.

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.

The Snow White Bristlenose Pleco is a line bred variant of the Common Bristlenose or Bushynose Pleco (Ancistrus sp.) developed from the more common albino strain which features vivid blue eyes and solid white body. With their bright white coloration, they make a striking addition to a medium or large community or planted aquarium and are one of the most popular of the many color forms of Ancistrus available in the hobby. As with all Common Bristlenose Plecos, these fish are ideal aquarium inhabitants, grazing on diatom algae while still being safe with live plants and peaceful towards all tankmates. While these plecos will do an excellent job controlling nuisance algae in the aquarium, they should be fed regularly with a high quality diet like Repashy gel formulas.

The Chameleon Loricaria is typically found in shallow, fast-moving stretches of river. In the aquarium, they prefer moderate to high water movement and large open areas of sand substrate. As their name suggests, these fish are capable of changing color, but the red morph seems to lack a pattern altogether and ranges from pale reddish white to a deep brick red.

An incredibly beautiful but huge growing pleco, the Sailfin or Gibbiceps Pleco has been known by many names in the trade and is now among the most widely bred plecos in the hobby despite its large adult size. As the name implies, this species is easily distinguished by its enormous, sail-like dorsal fin. An algae grazer and opportunistic omnivore, the Sailfin Pleco is an excellent fish for algae control in a very large community aquarium but with its fast growth and adult size of over 16″ it requires a substantial amount of space to maintain successfully.

The L501 Black Phantasm Pleco is often imported and misidentified with the L102 True Inspector or Snowball Pleco. It is one of several medium sized spotted species of Hypancistrus found in the middle and upper Rio Negro basin in Brazil, Colombia, and Venezuela. This species grows somewhat larger than some of its close relatives, reaching an adult size of 7″ and can be distinguished from other similar Hypancistrus by it’s thicker, more robust pectoral fins and lack of spots in the caudal fin. Like its relatives, they prefer warm, slightly soft water and are sensitive to poor water quality so regular water changes are a must. They should be fed a varied diet high in proteins, including frozen bloodworms, and sinking prepared foods.
