L104 Clown Pleco Panaqolus Maccus 4cm

Overview: The L104 Clown Pleco is a captivating and diminutive species of pleco that brings both charm and utility to any freshwater aquarium. Known for its striking patterns and peaceful demeanor, this pleco reaches a manageable size of around 3.5 to 4 inches, making it an excellent choice for small to medium-sized tanks. Its ability to consume algae makes it not only a visually appealing addition but also a practical one for maintaining tank cleanliness.

Origin: Native to Venezuela’s rivers and streams, the Clown Pleco thrives in environments with plenty of wood, which is essential for its diet and well-being. Its natural habitat is characterized by soft, flowing waters with abundant hiding spots.

Feeding: Primarily a wood-eater, the Clown Pleco requires driftwood in its diet for digestion and nutrition. Supplemental feeding should include algae wafers, vegetable-based foods, and occasional high-quality sinking pellets to ensure a balanced diet.

Tank Mates: This species is known for its peaceful nature, making it compatible with a wide range of tank mates. Ideal companions include small to medium-sized, peaceful fish. Avoid housing with large, aggressive species that may intimidate or harm the Clown Pleco.

Aggression: The L104 Clown Pleco exhibits minimal aggression and is often shy and reclusive. It may show territorial behavior towards other plecos if space and hiding spots are limited, so ensure adequate space and decor to prevent any potential disputes.

Experience Level: Suitable for both beginners and experienced aquarists, the Clown Pleco is hardy and adaptable, requiring minimal special care beyond its dietary needs and proper tank environment.

Water Parameters:

  • Temperature: 72-78°F (22-26°C)
  • pH: 6.5-7.5
  • Hardness: 6-10 dGH
  • It is crucial to maintain clean and well-oxygenated water, with regular water changes and filtration to mimic its natural riverine conditions.

Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned hobbyist, the Clown Pleco will surely bring joy and vibrancy to your aquatic world.
