Description

L27b Platinum Xingu Royal Pleco Panaque Ambrusteri

Overview: The L27b Platinum Xingu Royal Pleco is a stunning and rare variety of the Royal Pleco family, cherished by aquarists for its unique coloration and majestic presence. With a shimmering platinum body and distinctive patterning, this species adds a touch of elegance to any freshwater aquarium.

Origin: Native to the Xingu River in Brazil, this species thrives in fast-flowing waters. Its natural habitat is characterized by rocky substrates and plenty of hiding spots among the driftwood and crevices.

Feeding: Primarily a wood-eater, the L27b Platinum Xingu Royal Pleco requires a diet rich in lignin from driftwood. Supplement with high-quality vegetable-based foods, occasional protein in the form of bloodworms or brine shrimp, and specialized pleco pellets to ensure a balanced diet.

Tank Mates: Compatible with a wide range of peaceful to semi-aggressive fish that prefer similar water conditions. Ideal tank mates include larger tetras, rasboras, and South American cichlids. Avoid keeping with very small or timid fish that might be outcompeted for food.

Aggression: Generally peaceful but may show territorial behavior towards other bottom-dwellers. Providing ample hiding spots and sufficient space can minimize aggression.

Experience Level: Best suited for intermediate to advanced aquarists, due to specific dietary and water parameter requirements.

Water Parameters:

  • Temperature: 76-86°F (24-30°C)
  • pH: 6.5-7.5
  • Hardness: 6-10 dGH
  • Strong water flow and high oxygenation are beneficial.

Provide your L27b Platinum Xingu Royal Pleco with a spacious tank, plenty of driftwood for grazing, and a well-maintained environment to thrive. This rare and beautiful fish is a rewarding addition for dedicated hobbyists seeking a unique centerpiece for their aquarium.
