Hi!

L240 is a Pseudacathicus sp, so the basic requirements to keep and breed these, is basically the same than for other Pseudacanthicus species.

Reality,
A few weeks ago a lot of these started showing up at Bogota exporters. I figured they would soon arrive in the US and Europe. The shipments also included L 200 "shark fins," L 91, LDA 02, and an interesting Peckoltia type (can't remember the L number off of the top of my head). These fish are all black water fishes from the upper Orinoco.
