Hypancistrus sp. L66 King Tiger Pleco

13. November 2015

The King Tiger Pleco
originates from the Rio Xingu in Brazil. The species belongs to the most
popular plecos in the hobby. This fish attains a length of about 15 cm.
Currently we can offer very nice German bred ones (4-5 cm long), which
have a pretty and strongly contrasting black-and-white-pattern.

Like
in all species from the Rio Xingu the water should be a bit warmer than
usual, 28°C is the best temperature. Otherwise the species is
undemanding. These plecos do not feed on algae.

For
our customers: the animals have code 26480-L 066X-2 (bred ones) and
26480-L 066-3 (wild collected ones) on our stocklist. Please note that
we exclusively supply the wholesale trade.
