L185 Xingu Spiny Monster Pleco (Pseudacanthicus sp. L185)

Price range: $119.99 through $239.99

The L185 is an impressive, large growing species of Pseudacanthicus (commonly known as cactus plecos) from the rocky, clear, fast-flowing waters of the middle and upper Rio Xingu in Brazil. Territorial and largely carnivorous by nature, this species grows to about 7″ length and requires a fairly large aquarium with lots of cover, especially if they are to be kept with other plecos. They prefer warmer water temperatures (80 – 84F ) and will do best with moderate to strong current.
