Aquarium Information
- Care level: beginner
- Temperament: peaceful
- Diet: herbivore
- Minimum tank size: 120 gallons
- Compatibility: Generally compatible with most community fish that are not small enough to be considered prey. Avoid highly aggressive or fin-nipping species. Can be territorial with other plecos if tank space is insufficient.
- Special requirements: Requires a well-established aquarium with plenty of hiding places (caves, driftwood) and a constant supply of algae or vegetable matter. Driftwood is essential for their digestive health. Good filtration is crucial due to their large bioload. They are nocturnal, so provide dim lighting or shaded areas.
