L244 Black Spotted Flyer Pleco Pseudolithoxus Dumus 6cm

Overview:
The L244 Black Spotted Flyer Pleco, scientifically known as Pseudolithoxus Dumus, is a strikingly beautiful and relatively rare freshwater fish. It is admired for its unique black body adorned with vibrant white or yellow spots, making it a standout addition to any aquarium. This species is relatively small, making it suitable for various tank sizes.

Origin:
Native to the fast-flowing rivers and streams of Venezuela, the L244 thrives in environments with strong current and plenty of hiding spaces. They are often found clinging to rocks and submerged wood in their natural habitat.

Feeding:
Primarily an algae eater, the L244 requires a diet rich in vegetable matter. Algae wafers, blanched vegetables, and occasional high-quality sinking pellets should form the basis of their diet. Supplementing with frozen or live foods can provide additional nutrients.

Tank Mates:
The L244 is generally peaceful and can be housed with a variety of tank mates. Ideal companions include small to medium-sized tetras, rasboras, and other non-aggressive fish. Avoid housing with large or territorial species that may intimidate or harass them.

Aggression:
This species exhibits minimal aggression and is typically docile towards other aquarium inhabitants. However, it is essential to provide ample hiding spots to prevent stress and territorial disputes among conspecifics or similar bottom-dwellers.

Experience Level:
Due to their specific care requirements and sensitivity to water conditions, the L244 is best suited for intermediate to advanced aquarists. Knowledge of their natural habitat and dedication to maintaining a suitable environment is crucial for their well-being.

Water Parameters:

  • Temperature: 76°F – 82°F (24°C – 28°C)
  • pH: 6.5 – 7.5
  • Hardness: 5-15 dGH
  • Ensure the tank is well-oxygenated with a moderate to strong flow to mimic their natural habitat.

In conclusion, the L244 Black Spotted Flyer Pleco is a fascinating and beautiful species that requires a bit of expertise to thrive. With proper care, they can make a captivating and joyful addition to any tropical freshwater aquarium.
