$199.99

The exceedingly rare red color morph of Chameleon Loricaria is found alongside the more commonly seen black and white form, but very few make their way into the trade. The Chameleon Loricaria is typically found in shallow, fast-moving stretches of river. In the aquarium, they prefer moderate to high water movement and large open areas of sand substrate. As their name suggests, these fish are capable of changing color, but the red morph seems to lack a pattern altogether and ranges from pale reddish white to a deep brick red.
