L134

Post by kribman »

This is my first post here so Hi All! (Actually I posted earlier but it seems to be lost).
Does anyone have experience with L134? Are they commonly imported? I saw some at a lfs and the black was quite washed out. I'm assuming it's because they were without substrate and stressed, or are there color variants that could account for this? Thanks.

Color is variable in this species. See this.

Thanks for the reply Silurus. That's one of the things I like about this pleco is the variability. I think I may give this species a go.

Lovely fish, but don't expect to see it in daylight or with the tank light on. Very noctunal but did chomp it's way through all the algae in the tank.

Definately peaceful. Worth a look if you want a small pleco.
