Native to Brazil’s Rio Xingu, this stunning bottom-dweller is both eye-catching and functional, helping to keep the aquarium clean. It thrives in spacious, well-oxygenated setups with hiding spots and smooth driftwood or rocks. While peaceful, it can be territorial with other plecos and requires a protein-rich diet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"639\" data-end=\"656\"\u003eNeed to Know:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"658\" data-end=\"1016\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"658\" data-end=\"732\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"660\" data-end=\"732\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"660\" data-end=\"680\"\u003eRecommended For:\u003c\/strong\u003e Large, peaceful community or pleco-specific tanks\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"733\" data-end=\"770\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"735\" data-end=\"770\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"735\" data-end=\"757\"\u003eMinimum Tank Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 300 litres\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"771\" data-end=\"805\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"773\" data-end=\"805\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"773\" data-end=\"795\"\u003eTemperature Range:\u003c\/strong\u003e 26–30°C\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"806\" data-end=\"831\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"808\" data-end=\"831\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"808\" data-end=\"821\"\u003epH Range:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.5–7.5\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"832\" data-end=\"919\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"834\" data-end=\"919\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"834\" data-end=\"862\"\u003eRecommended School Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Best kept singly or with non-competing bottom dwellers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"920\" data-end=\"989\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"922\" data-end=\"989\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"922\" data-end=\"940\"\u003eCompatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Peaceful; can be territorial with other plecos\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"990\" data-end=\"1016\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"992\" data-end=\"1016\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"992\" data-end=\"1005\"\u003eMax Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30–35 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/a-ADh8U5W-s?si=GtxBkh2FCkPPhD1m\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShipping Disclaimer:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAll fish are usually shipped on Monday or Tuesday mornings via an overnight courier.
