  • True Chameleon Loricaria (Pseudohemiodon apithanos)

    True Chameleon Loricaria (Pseudohemiodon apithanos)

    Price range: $74.99 through $99.99

    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 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.
