Description

L128 Blue Phantom Pleco Ancistrinae Hemiancistrus SP

Overview: The L128 Blue Phantom Pleco is a captivating and popular freshwater fish known for its striking blue coloration and peaceful demeanor. It reaches up to 7 inches in length, making it a manageable size for many aquariums. This species is a must-have for enthusiasts looking to add a touch of elegance and mystery to their aquatic setups.

Origin: Native to the fast-flowing rivers of Venezuela, particularly in the Orinoco River basin, the Blue Phantom Pleco thrives in environments with plenty of hiding spots and strong water flow.

Feeding: Primarily herbivorous, the L128 requires a diet rich in vegetable-based foods. Algae wafers, blanched vegetables, and sinking pellets should form the basis of their diet, supplemented with occasional protein sources like brine shrimp or bloodworms to ensure optimal health.

Tank Mates: Ideal tank mates include small to medium-sized, peaceful fish. Avoid overly aggressive species that may stress or harm the pleco. Compatible companions include tetras, rasboras, and dwarf cichlids. Its gentle nature makes it a perfect community tank member.

Aggression: The L128 Blue Phantom Pleco is notably peaceful and solitary. It may show territorial behavior towards other bottom dwellers, especially of its own kind, so provide ample space and hiding spots if housing multiple plecos.

Experience Level: Suited for intermediate to advanced aquarists. While not overly demanding, maintaining optimal water conditions and diet requires some experience.

Water Parameters:

  • Temperature: 76-86°F (24-30°C)
  • pH: 6.5-7.5
  • Hardness: 5-15 dGH
  • Strong water flow and high oxygenation are crucial to mimic their natural habitat.

Ensure regular water changes and a well-filtered tank to keep these magnificent creatures healthy and vibrant. With proper care, the L128 Blue Phantom Pleco will be a stunning centerpiece in any freshwater aquarium.
