L97 Black White Spot Cactus Pleco Pseudacanthicus Sp.

Overview: The L97 Black White Spot Cactus Pleco, a striking and exotic addition to any aquarium, is renowned for its unique appearance. This species boasts a dark body adorned with vibrant white spots, making it a captivating sight. Growing to a size of up to 12 inches, it requires a spacious tank to accommodate its size.

Origin: Native to the fast-flowing rivers of South America, the L97 thrives in environments with strong current and plenty of hiding spaces. Its natural habitat contributes to its resilience and preference for clean, well-oxygenated water.

Feeding: Primarily carnivorous, the L97 Black White Spot Cactus Pleco has a diet that consists of meaty foods. Offer a variety of foods including pellets, frozen or live bloodworms, and shrimp to ensure a balanced diet. Vegetable supplements can occasionally be included to diversify its nutrition.

Tank Mates: Compatible with many fish species, it’s important to pair the L97 with tank mates that share its preference for similar water conditions and are not too small to be considered prey. Avoid overly aggressive fish that may provoke or harass it.

Aggression: While generally peaceful with other species, the L97 can exhibit territorial behavior towards other bottom-dwellers. Providing ample space and hiding spots can minimize aggression.

Experience Level: Suitable for intermediate to advanced aquarists, the L97 requires a well-maintained tank with stable water parameters and adequate space. Knowledge of its dietary and environmental needs is essential.

Water Parameters:

  • Temperature: 77-82°F (25-28°C)
  • pH: 6.5-7.5
  • Hardness: 5-15 dGH
  • Ensure the tank is well-filtered with a strong current to mimic its natural habitat.

Conclusion: The L97 Black White Spot Cactus Pleco is a magnificent and rewarding species for the dedicated aquarist. Its unique appearance and interesting behavior make it a standout addition to any large, tropical freshwater aquarium. Proper care and attention to its specific needs will ensure a healthy and thriving environment for this beautiful pleco.
