A colorful and uniquely patterned member of the genus Leporicanthicus, the Golden Vampire Pleco is found in the warm, clear, fast-moving waters of Brazil’s Rio Xingu where it inhabits rocky shallow and even rapids. In the aquarium, it should be provided with plenty of cover and regular feedings of protein rich feeds such as Repashy gel diet or other prepared feeds. Like most plecos from this region, they 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 is generally less aggressive than others in its genus and grows to a more manageable adult size (about 8″), but like most of its close relatives it should be provided a protein rich diet.

Native to the upper Orinoco basin, the L091 ‘Dragon Fin’ Three Beacon Pleco (Leporacanthicus triactis ‘dragon fin’) is a rare color variant of L091 that displays vivid orange and black throughout the majority of the dorsal and in some cases, caudal fin.

Like most of their relatives in the genus Leporacanthicus, the L091 is a relatively territorial species which should be provided with plenty of hides and cover in the aquarium.
