Peckoltia braueri

A medium sized pleco found in the Rio Demini, a tributary of the middle Rio Negro in Brazil along with parts of Guyana, the L135 Worm Line Pleco is named for the unique scribbled line pattern that adorns its face. In the wild, they are found in warm, acidic, waters in areas of moderate current and will do best in similar conditions in the aquarium. This species may be the same as L121 which is known from nearby Guyana. A hardy and easy to care for pleco, they will do well with most tankmates but should be given plenty of cover in the form of driftwood or caves so they can establish territories. This species will eat a variety of sinking, gel, and fresh foods in the aquarium, and should be offered a varied diet high in protein.
