These also juvenile 3" WC L-27 'Xingu' offered in the shop.

You can notice the variation on the pattern.

They offer many kind of wc pleco, including L-191 you mentioned.

I think those L-191 , includind other Panaque in trade are all wild caugh, as overhere in Thailand , I know and importer from Taiwan who imports them from local fish farms in south America and re-exports them all over the world. Here is a branch shop of "Limpid Aquarium" from Taiwan, in Chatuchak ...

Some disease which's usually attack pleco.

They recommend a kind of fomular "FMC" to against most of bug!
Overehere in my country Thailand, there is a product which is made of the same thing pretty close to "FMC" and it's proved to treat the disease on pleco very well.

I've got some information from this book.

I've kept L-273 "Titanic" and LDA-105 "Typhoon" for a while, they alway hide in wood or cave all day and come out only at night.

Beyond the nutrient, I think the carotinoid from shrimp could enhance the red colour of the fish too, as one of my younger "Scarlet" seem to get better red.

Every morning I found she left an amount of her manures, that's good sign

One of my female "Scarlet" that recently be imported with thin body has been fed up so well with the frozen river shrimp & Hikari's Massivore pellet.

Overhere we can obtain frozen river shrimp as a flat pack that can be easily broken up into daily portions. A frozen food portion should not be put directly into the tank, they should be first be thawed out, by using a plastic sieve and let the food thawed under the tap water.

In Thailand, there is a native species of freshwater river shrimp which has been used as live food or frozen for feeding carnivorous fishes, especially my beloved Pseudacanthicus. They seem to like this stuff very much

My friend, I do hope this could help.
It's good information about the Lymphocystis disease.

Thanks for every comments

Actually, I've kept a 13 inches L-25 "Scarlet Pleco" he also prefer to take a morning sunbath!!

It's unbelievable! This is the same pale fish last month!

Let your Plec take a sunbath

I feed my "Flame Pleco" and his tank mates with Hikari pellets and freshwater river shrimp (freeze)

Also the Oxygen is up to 8ml. as I use the Protein Skimmer to increse the dissolve O2 beyond a very strong powerhead and surface outflow.

By the way, the water parameter in this tank is quite good. I think because I use moving bead as filter media and I change the water 50% every week.

Thanks Bas pels & Shane

I peek him, he always cling there every morning!

All the fins get more scaret also the body get more yellow!

About two week later, I noticed that the natural colors of the fish seem to be enhanced and look much better!

But every morning, I notice that this "Flame Pleco" prefers to take a morning sunbath by clinging on the wall at the sunlight, instead hiding under the wood.

He seem to be happy in his tank.

I've kept him in my 60-20-20 inches tank which set outside, and receive 2-3 hours of morning sunlight.

Month ago I purchased an imported 11 inches L-24 from my friend. The coloration seem to be good but not colorful.

This picture when I first got it.
