Leporacanthicus heterodon in a planted tank?

Post by wwicks »

Could a Golden vampire pleco (Leporacanthicus heterodon) be kept in a lightly planted tank, will it eat the plants or push them around at all?
Also is $50 a good price for a 4 inch L. heterodon?

I am currently keeping 3 L. Heterodons in a tank with lots of anubias. Never had any problem with them eating or damaging any of my plants. $50.00 seems like a good price for a 4-incher, considering I got mine for much more. Good luck.

No plans on breeding them, but I will defiantly post some pics if I do get it.
