Overview:
The L47 Magnum Orange Mango Pleco, known for its stunning orange and black coloration, is a unique and highly sought-after freshwater fish. This species stands out in any aquarium with its vibrant hues and distinct patterns. Growing up to 10-12 inches in length, it’s a perfect choice for adding a splash of color to your tank.

Origin:
Hailing from the fast-flowing, rocky rivers of South America, particularly in the Amazon basin, this pleco thrives in environments with strong currents and plenty of hiding spots.

Feeding:
Omnivorous by nature, the L47 Magnum requires a balanced diet consisting of both plant-based foods and protein. Offer a variety of high-quality sinking pellets, algae wafers, fresh vegetables (such as zucchini and cucumber), and occasional live or frozen foods to keep them healthy and vibrant.

Tank Mates:
This pleco is generally peaceful and can be housed with a wide range of tank mates. Ideal companions include other similarly sized peaceful fish, smaller community fish, and other plecos. Avoid overly aggressive species that may bully or stress your pleco.

Aggression:
The L47 Magnum Pleco is relatively peaceful but can be territorial with other bottom-dwellers, especially during feeding times. Providing ample space and hiding spots can minimize aggression.

• Temperature: 76-84°F (24-29°C)
