One of the most attractively patterned and sought after members of its genus, the Leopard Frog or Imperial Tiger Pleco is found in the clear waters of the Rio Tapajos (more banded patterning) and its tributary the Rio Jamanxim (more spotted pattering) in Brazil. Both of these rivers are fairly fast moving but these fish are often found in shallow, more still water areas usually in and around crevices in rocks. An omnivore and grazer, these fish do best when offered a protein rich diet like Repahsy insectivore gel diet or other high quality sinking foods. This species is a cave spawner and will breed in the aquarium if given the proper conditions.
