L600 Leopard Cactus Pleco Pseudacanthicus Leopardus

Overview: The L600 Leopard Cactus Pleco, a stunning freshwater fish, is admired for its unique leopard-like spots and impressive armored appearance. Growing up to 15 inches in captivity, this species is a standout addition to any large aquarium setup.

Origin: Native to the fast-flowing rocky rivers of Brazil, the L600 thrives in environments that replicate their natural habitat, with plenty of hiding spots and strong water flow.

Feeding: Primarily carnivorous, the L600 requires a diet rich in protein. Offer a variety of foods such as sinking pellets, frozen or live bloodworms, and shrimp to keep them healthy and vibrant.

Tank Mates: Compatible with other large, peaceful species. Avoid keeping with small fish that might be mistaken for food. Ideal tank mates include larger tetras, cichlids, and other plecos that do not compete aggressively for territory.

Aggression: Exhibits territorial behavior, especially towards other bottom dwellers. Ensure ample space and hiding places to minimize aggression within the aquarium.

Experience Level: Recommended for intermediate to advanced aquarists, due to their specific care requirements and large size.

Water Parameters:

  • Temperature: 79-86°F (26-30°C)
  • pH: 6.5-7.5
  • Hardness: 6-10 dGH
  • Strong filtration and regular water changes are essential to mimic their natural flowing water habitat.

Incorporating the L600 Leopard Cactus Pleco into your aquarium brings a touch of exotic beauty and intrigue. Their distinct appearance and behaviors make them a fascinating subject for those willing to meet their care requirements.
