Care of L 077

I found this guy in a mall pet store. They had no idea what kind of pleco it was so I was able to get it cheap. On the ID thread I found out it is a L 007 or Bruno Pleco. There isn't any info on how big, water conditions, food and such. I have it in a 20L q-tank for now. Does anyone know how well it gets along with other plecos?

Thanks, Beth

Care should be similar to . Feed it vegetable food, lots of it, such as courgette(zucchini), sweet potato, potato, squash, melon, mango, carrot, green beans, etc. The odd algae wafer or similar wouldn't go amiss either.

Don't feed too much of high protein foods, flakes or wafers. They get congestion problems in that long gut if you do.

Having some wood in the tank would probably not hurt, and you may well find that the fish chews on the wood now and again.

Do you think temperment will also be the same?

I would say that they are easy-going with some territorial tendency when they are bigger (5-6" +).
