The High Orange Green Phantom Pleco, like the very similar and more commonly imported L200 Green Phantom Pleco (H. subviridis) originates in fast-moving, rocky areas of the Orinoco and Ventuari Rivers in Colombia and Venezuela. Distinct for having more orange dorsal and caudal fins than other Green Phantom Plecos, this pleco makes a colorful and unique addition to most medium aquariums. An omnivore, they will graze on algae and biofilm but should be offered a variety of sinking prepared foods with a moderate to high protein content. This species is particularly sensitive to poor water quality and will do best when kept in clean, well-oxygenated warm water with moderate current and plenty of hiding places.

The Striped Glass Catfish (Kryptopterus macrocephalus) has been popular in the aquarium trade for decades due to its peaceful nature and active behavior. In the wild, they inhabit a variety of freshwater habitats in Southeast Asia, from clear water streams to quiet swampy areas, where they are typically found in large shoals. They are relatively hardy in the aquarium but prefer slightly soft water and excellent water quality. They should be kept in groups of at least 5 fish so they can form a school. Fast moving or nippy tankmates should be avoided as they can stress out the more peaceful Glass Catfish.

A medium growing species of Brochis, the Pantanal or C005 Cory originates in the clear water wetlands known as the Pantanal in Southern Brazil and Bolivia. Adult fish are one of the most attractive of all Corydoras, with adult males in breeding colors showing a remarkable iridescent spotted pattern. Like most Cory catfish, they are peaceful, hardy, and best kept in groups due to their schooling nature. Because of their larger adult size, Pantanal 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 smallest species of Cory and an ideal, active schooling fish for the aquarium, the true Pygmy Cory is found in the middle and upper Amazon and Napo rivers in Colombia, Brazil, and Peru. In the wild, they are usually found in shallow stretches of whitewater or clearwater creeks or seasonally flooded forest. This species is a true shoaling fish which aggregates in groups of hundreds to thousands in nature, and unlike most Corydoras will spend a substantial amount of time swimming in the water column rather than on the substrate. In the aquarium, they will exhibit this same ‘swarming’ behavior and constant activity if kept in groups of 10 or more. With their small adult size and compatibility with almost any other small fish or invertebrate, they are an extremely popular addition to planted and shrimp tanks. Our tank raised Albino Pygmy Corys are bred in captivity and will adapt to aquarium life easily, making them a good choice for beginner to intermediate hobbyists.

A strikingly patterned, small growing species of Hypancistrus from the warm, acidic waters of the Rio Orinoco and its tributaries in Colombia, the L199 Yellowhead Zebra Pleco (Hypancistrus furunculus) is an ideal species for a medium sized 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, they are not a particularly good algae eater and prefer 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.

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.
