L090 Titan Royal Pleco 6-9CM

The L090 Papa Lyretail Pleco (Panaque bathyphilus) hails from the wilds of Peru, specifically the Rio Amazonas near Iquitos. This species thrives on a diet rich in algae and is known to consume a considerable amount of wood in its natural habitat, so it’s essential to provide a varied diet that emphasizes vegetable matter. Adult Papa Lyretail Plecos can grow up to 14 inches and are best suited for a tank of at least 180 gallons. While they are generally peaceful, they may exhibit territorial behavior towards other plecos. For optimal health, maintain water parameters with a pH between 6.5 and 7.5, temperatures ranging from 76 to 82°F, and ensure ammonia and nitrite levels are at 0 ppm, with nitrates kept below 30 ppm. picture of fish in stock, all size are approx
