Extremely beautiful and very peaceful, hardy addition to almost any aquarium

Adult Length: 9cm

Temperature Range: 23-29°C

pH Range: 5.5-7.5

Special Requirements: The L136 Angelicus Pleco is primarily nocturnal, but will often become active during daytime hours once established in an aquarium with plenty of driftwood, rockwork, and other hiding places.  It is not known to eat wood heavily like some plecos (Panaque sp., etc.), but it may benefit from some supplementary wood (or bio-film on driftwood). 

Tanks Mates:  In most cases a peaceful and unproblematic fish that can be kept with a wide variety of fish. Generally solitary, but will socialize somewhat, especially during breeding.

Feeding: Omnivorous, so a varied diet is necessary. This species is more carnivorous than many other “pleco” species.
