Description

L007 Dracula Vampire Pleco Leporacanticus SP

Overview: The L007 Dracula Vampire Pleco, Leporacanthicus, is a captivating and unique species in the aquarium hobby. Known for its striking appearance, with a dark body and contrasting light spots, this pleco adds a touch of mystery to any freshwater tank. Its most notable feature is the set of ‘vampire-like’ teeth, ideal for feeding on its natural diet.

Origin: Native to the Orinoco River basin in Venezuela, this intriguing species thrives in fast-flowing waters. It’s adapted to a habitat with plenty of hiding spots among rocks and submerged wood.

Feeding: Primarily carnivorous, the Dracula Pleco’s diet should include a variety of high-quality, protein-rich foods. Options include bloodworms, brine shrimp, and sinking carnivore pellets. Occasional offerings of blanched vegetables can provide nutritional variety.

Tank Mates: Ideal tank mates include peaceful to semi-aggressive fish that thrive in similar water conditions. Avoid small, slow-moving fish that might be mistaken for food. Good companions include larger tetras, rasboras, and other plecos that do not compete for territory.

Aggression: This species exhibits territorial behavior, especially towards other bottom-dwellers. Providing ample hiding spots and enough space can minimize aggression.

Experience Level: Due to its specific dietary and environmental needs, the L007 Dracula Vampire Pleco is best suited for intermediate to advanced aquarists who can cater to its requirements.

Water Parameters:

  • Temperature: 76-86°F (24-30°C)
  • pH: 6.5-7.5
  • Hardness: 5-19 dGH

A well-oxygenated tank with strong filtration and moderate to strong water flow replicates its natural habitat, promoting health and vitality in your Dracula Pleco.
