L141 White Tail Ghost Pleco Ancistomus Snethlageae 6cm

Overview: The L141 White Tail Ghost Pleco, scientifically known as Ancistomus snethlageae, is a striking addition to any freshwater aquarium. Renowned for its unique pale body and contrasting white tail, this pleco species brings an ethereal beauty to the aquatic environment. Typically reaching up to 6 inches in length, they are a manageable size for a variety of tank setups.

Origin: Native to the Amazon River basin, the L141 White Tail Ghost Pleco thrives in fast-flowing, oxygen-rich waters. Their natural habitat consists of rocky substrates and dense vegetation, providing ample hiding spaces and feeding grounds.

Feeding: This species is omnivorous with a preference for algae and biofilm. Supplement their diet with high-quality sinking pellets, blanched vegetables (such as zucchini and cucumber), and occasional protein sources like bloodworms or brine shrimp to ensure balanced nutrition.

Tank Mates: The White Tail Ghost Pleco is peaceful and can coexist with many other fish species. Ideal tank mates include small to medium-sized tetras, rasboras, and other non-aggressive community fish. Avoid housing them with large, aggressive species that may bully or outcompete them for food.

Aggression: Generally peaceful, the L141 exhibits territorial behavior towards other bottom-dwellers, especially of the same or similar species. Providing plenty of hiding spots and ample space can minimize aggression.

Experience Level: Suitable for intermediate to advanced aquarists. While not overly demanding, maintaining optimal water quality and providing a balanced diet are crucial for their well-being.

Water Parameters:

  • Temperature: 76°F to 84°F (24°C to 29°C)
  • pH: 6.5 to 7.5
  • Hardness: 6 to 10 dGH
  • Water flow: Moderate to high to mimic their natural habitat.

Regular water changes and a well-filtered tank are essential to replicate the clean, oxygen-rich waters of their Amazonian home. The L141 White Tail Ghost Pleco is a captivating and relatively easy-to-care-for species that adds both beauty and utility to freshwater aquariums, making it a prized choice for dedicated aquarists.
