L226 Iquitos Tiger Pleco (Panaqolus changae)

Price range: $39.99 through $59.99

A beautifully marked “tiger” pleco of the genus Panaqolus, the L226 displays beautiful vivid orange and black coloration when kept under optimal conditions. Originating from the soft, warm waters of the Nanay, Momon, and Amazon river around Iquitos, Peru, L226 are usually found in and around sunken trees and large patches of driftwood in the wild. Like its close relatives, it is a wood eater (xylivore) and in the aquarium should be provided with ample driftwood as well as other nutritious sinking foods like Repashy’s xylivore formula gel diet.
